Shelby, Thank you. Even if he did not descend from my James, chances are he descended from Eliza Jane Meadows who was born about 1872 in Boone County. She was also married to my great grandfather in Fayette County. Jesse Treadway (gr. grandfather) married 1st. Eliza Jane Meadows (b. Boone County), 2nd. Elizabeth Belle Mosely (b. Fayette County) and 3rd Barbara Allen Smith (b. Fayette County). The third wife was my great grandmother. Her parents were Martin Smith and America Meadows. America was the daughter of James Meadows and Rebecca Arthur. I suspect that James was either born in the early days of Fayette County or Logan County just before the formation of Fayette. As I stated in my previous email, the area where I live was the part of Fayette which was previously Logan. On those tax lists I mentioned are the names of Chandler Arthur, Abraham and another Arthur whose name I don't remember. Chandler and Abraham were father and son and Rebecca (w/o James Meadows) was the daughter of Chandler. The property that both Chandler and Abraham lived is located on the road where I live and less than a mile from here.

Wv, named James Bruce Meadows. I'm wondering if he could have been named for your James Meadows, in Fayette co. He was b. ca 1885. like you say, it was all one big county back then(Logan)Boone county is kind of chinchy on releasing census records, but will try to find out if James Bruce Meadows descended from your set of Meadows.
