A collection of records of the Meadows Family, from 1612 in Suffolk, England, to 1980 in rural Kentucky, a total of ten generations. Beginning with Thomas Meade, Sr, born in Suffolk, England in 1612, who emigrated to the British Colony of Virginia in 1636 through Jamestown; a landed gentry with a tobacco plantation. His son, Thomas Meador, Jr., was born in 1634 in Warrosquyoake, Virginia, and weathered attacks by indigenous people of the region; also known as Thomas the Orphan, or Thomas the Younger. The next generation begins with John Meadors, born 1658 and who lived in Charles Parrish, in British Virginia; also a large landowner, he and his children were early Quakers in Virginia. His son, Jason Meadors, Sr., may have had a twin, Job. Born in 1704, he moved to Anson County, North Carolina where he and his son, Jason Jr., were regulators in the Regulator Rebellion in 1768, a precursor to the later American Revolution. Next in line is Thomas Meador, Sr., born in Anson County, North Carolina, he shepherded his family through the Cumberland Gap and settled in Knox County, Kentucky in 1804. Thomas Jefferson Meadors, Jr., was born in 1771, was a sergeant in Hall's Regiment of the Tennessee Volunteers, who fought in Andrew Jackson's expedition to Natchez. William Troy Meadors was born in 1803 in Anson County, settling with his family in Williamsburg, Kentucky. He owned three slaves: Loerris, his wife Isabella, and their daughter Cherry. He is the only known enslaver I have documented. John W. Meadors, born 1827, joined the Union Army in 1862 as part of the 32 nd Infantry of Kentucky. He rose to the rank of Private 3rd Class, and apparently died of disease without seeing significant action. William Bluford Meadors lived in a log cabin in Whitley County. Born in 1865 in Whitley County, he died of apoplexy in 1934 at the age of 69. He is listed in the Census from 1910 on. His youngest child was Linvil, a misspelling of Linville, was born in 1895. Linville Barton Meadors, also known as L.B. worked as a brakeman on the L&N Railroad in 1908. He later sold insurance and for a time, sewing machines. He received a call the ministry in 1926 and was ordained as a Baptist in 1928. For the rest of his life, he preached in the at revivals, tent meetings, and on the radio. He was active in politics, holding the offices of County Clerk, State Representative, and County Judge for Whitley County, "preaching the plain old attractive Gospel exclusively." He moved to Knoxville, Tennessee in 1945, and later to Jacksonville, Florida, where he continued his ministry until his death in 1980. He and his sons, Linville Barton Meadows, Jr., and William Harold Meadows, Sr., ran several retail businesses. He and his wife, Harriet Green Hatcher, are buried side-by-side in Alcoa, Tennessee.
