I am working with some other researchers to try and tie up some loose ends in research of the Meadows families of early Bedford and Warren counties (before Coffee County was divided off). One clue we are following is the following Warren County, TN plats: Warren County TN Plats, Volume I, Page 197. Surveyed 21 October 1825 for Sarah DRAKE 25 acre entry 6 July 1824 No. 510 on the waters of Hickory Creek adjoining the lands of Thomas WOOD, Iverson MEADOWS and James WILSON, John DICKERSON's east boundary line of a tract in the name of Tho. WOOD, WILSON's line. Levi LOYD & Iverson MEADOWS CC. Wm M. DOUGLAS DS. Warren County TN Plats, Volume II, Page 231 Surveyed 22 Aug 1831 for James D. Coffy 100 acres, entry dated 16 Feb, 1830. No 2942 on the waters of Hickory Creek, post oak marked J.D.C. about 50 yds. N. W. of the road leading from James Wilson Jun's toward the stone fort perhaps one mile thereabouts, west of lands of Elias Hopkins, including a bark camp built by travelers. Richd Cunningham and Daniel Meadows CC. A. Higginbotham DS. Aug 25, 1831. Sent on 3 Jan 1832 by A. B. Lane. Both Richard Cunningham and Daniel Meadows are found in early Bedford County, TN records. On 1850 census of Morgan County, AL, there are two Coffee women living in the household with the Daniel Meadows we are researching and his family. One is Nancy Coffee, born about 1790 in NC, and Eliza, born about 1828. We are particularly interested in the James D. Coffy in one of the plats above as well as the Iverson Meadows (the Daniel Meadows we are researching has a son named Iverson.) If anyone has any relevant information, please contact me. As part of this research, I have compiled abstracts of the Coffees in Second District Surveys and Bedford County, TN deeds up to 1840. I would be happy to send a copy to any researchers who want it 0 e-mail me directly to request it.
