    Notes:

    General Notes: Records show some of the Meadors living in Cumberland County, Virginia in the 1740's. Although he owned land there, Jonas and Frances did not move there until 1751 locating in an area now a part of the State Forest. By the time Jonas died in 1768, he had acquired 630 acres.

    geocities.com - meador: "One of the odd things about Jonas' will is that Jobe and Jason are made executors of the will, neither being of age at the time. Jonas was called "annex administrator" of his father's will during the minority of the executor. He was asked by his father in the will to look after Jobe and Jason for 3 years until 17, the age of majority."

    SRC: Historical Southern Families, Vol IV, Meadors-Meadows of Essex County, Virginia

    n 1751, Jonas Meador moved to Cumberland county, Virginia, settling at the heads of Deep and Muddy creeks about 5 miles NE of the present county seat. A Meador cemetery is still in the vicinity. Here he raised a family of nine children, who contributed greatly to future western migrations. Of these children, only daughter Frances and sons Jonas, Jr, Jehu, and Jesse continued to live in Cumberland County, the others moving westward into the Bedford Franklin area of Virginia. Josiah moved to the Giles creek area of Virginia. His youngest son, Jesse, enlisted in the revolution October 17, 1775, and was his only son to serve. He was in the minute men of the Amelia District of Cumberland county and served under Captain Joseph Carrington. Three of his grandsons also served in the revolution. They were the sons of Joel: John, Jonas Jr, and Joel. At his death in 1768, Jonas owned 630 acres; his will was dated may 5, 1768, and was probated august 23, 1768. The oldest son, Joel, inherited 430 acres, but as he had already taken up residence in Bedford county, he sold his interests: 230 acres to his mother- Frances, and 200 acres to his brother Jesse who had received the other 200 acres from his father. Jonas Meador, Jr had already purchased land in Bedford County, but upon his father's death, he sold it and returned to the farm to manage his mother affairs until his death in 1773. His mother, Frances, executed a will august 17, 1774 but as it was not probated until September 25, 1780, her death probably occurred nearer the later date.
