William Meador (d. 1832) was son of whom?
I realize I may only be showing my ignorance, but...
I am interested in the William Meador, with wife or wives unknown, who died in Anson Co., NC in 1832.I see that most folks on the Internet claim that he was the son of Jason Meador (m. Sarah Moberly).My question is: why?I.e., why is not equally likely that he was the son of Jason's brother Lewis (m. Susannah Meador)?I cannot find the evidence that favors the assignment of William as the son of either brother.Neither Jason nor Lewis left an extant Will or estate record.
Can anyone help in explaining the rationalization to favor Jason over Lewis (or Job, for that matter)?
