As near as we can tell most of the Meadows' in West Virginia are probably descended from Francis Meadows (c.1730-c.1792) and his wife Mary Bell.They were in the Augusta and Orange County area of Virginia; later in Rockingham County.Although Francis' parents have not been determined for certain it is thought that he is from the Thomas/John Meadows lines that were in eastern Virginia as early as the early 1600s.My own lines are from several sons of this Francis and Mary: Francis, Jr.; Jeremiah; and probably Lewis.
I have been trying to determine why my great-great-grandfather Madison Meadows went to NC.As far as I know he had no connection to that area.His immediate ancestors were in VA and WV, and all of his children, as far as I know, remained in WV.
Good luck with your research!
