Diana,

I'm so glad that I was able to find those Meady deeds, especially the one
with Martha! I was wondering why a mother and son would sell land together,
but you're right, it was most likely Meady's wife Martha, and that's
exciting. Perhaps a look at the Court Minutes for that time period would give
a definative answer. Also, that church that was built on Meady's acre of land
might have some clues.
