researching Meade/Medor/Meadows in England
Found a webpage that looked pretty promising, it's another twist of the Meador name but could prove to be worth while. Floored me when I read this. Will post the link to the original page at the bottom.
Notes for William Mead:
William and his family sailed in April 1635 from the Kent port of Lydd on the Elizabeth, under Captain Stagg. They settled first in Wethersfield, Conn, and then moved in 1641 to Stamford, where William was granted a home lot and five acres of land.
"William is the ancestor of the Mead family of Connecticut, New York, Vermont and Meadville, Pennsylvania.
Gabriel Mead is the ancestor of the Mead family of Massachusetts.
The Meade family of Virginia is descended from an Irish family whose name was originally spelled Meagh.
The Mead family of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Loudoun County, Virginia, is said to have been descended from a Richard Mead of Buckinghamshire, possibly through his son Matthew. They were mainly Quakers. Richard Mead, the surgeon and physician to King George I was Matthew's son. There is a memorial to Dr. Richard Mead in Westminster Abbey. He is buried in Temple Church, the Middle Temple, London."

Good luck to those who wish to persue this! Happy hunting!
