First, please forgive me for sending this to several lists, I need as wide an area as possible, please delete the duplicates, or triplicates and don't berate me!! We on the Meadows list have been working on a big problem that has arisen on which Jacob Meador/Meadows was married to several women and who were their fathers. The Jacob's were born in the mid to late 1700s. The various women include Sarah Berry Mary Overington Nancy Davis Roach-widow Miss Nossman If anyone has concrete proof on these men and their several wives please write to me, this is making me crazy!!

Thanks, Sandy.

Hardin Shumate - according to Monroe County File 2, Jacket 621, Hardin and Elizabeth were married 9 Jun 1806. According to Giles County Death Book 1, page 26, he died 22 Feb 1874 at age 91-2-22. According to his tomestone inscription, he died 22 Feb 1873 at age 90-2-22. The tombstone is a relatively new one and was dedicated about sixteen years ago. Whoever had the stone inscribed misread the death record or the death record is wrong? Elizabeth Leach - According to Giles County Death Book 1, page 22, she died 4 Feb 1873 at age 84 which would place her year of birth as 1788/1789. According to her tombstone inscription, she was born 27 Dec 1788/1789 and died 30 Feb 1873. If the 27 Dec part can be believed, than I would say that she as born 27 Dec 1788. I know that there is only 28 or 29 days in Feb, depending on a Leap Year. One other thing. The informant on her death record was her son Kendly Shumate who stated that Elizabeth's husband was Hardin Shumate and that her parents was Joshua Leach and Hannah ______. However, according to page 368 of Morton's History of Monroe County, Joshua Leach (who married 1798 Hannah Hawkins) was the brother of Elizabeth Leach and both were the children of William Leach and Susanna Hughes. It seem strange that Kendly listed his uncle Joshua for his grandfather William. Does anyone know anything about this? Sandy Cocoa, Florida

My James was born in 1780/81 in Monroe County. Could be a brother or related thru another brother. Let me pull out my Wiley notes this weekend and get back with you next week. I would say more than likely. James had a daughter that he named Rachel, maybe after your Rachel. Sandy.

Hi, Sandra. I have a Thomas and Rachel Lynch Wiley (b 1781, d 1870) of Monroe County. Any chance they connect with your Wileys? Bill Johnson Harrisburg, PA

What I have on Elizabeth is that she was born Feb 1788, Pittsylvania County, VA-6 Jan 1889, Decatur County, IN, who married 1 Aug 1812 in Monroe County, Virginia to James Dunn (23 Nov 1791-5 Feb 1875), son of Reuben Dunn and Nnacy Layne. They left Giles County, Va and moved to Decatur County, IN ca 1832. They had only one son and three daughter as far as I have found, all born in Giles County, VA. They may have been additional children in Indiana which I have yet to research. Their oldest child was Andrew Dunn (1815-1889/1898) who married Sarah ________ (1819, Va- ) .
