Susannah Meadows [24445]

  General Notes:

Possibly a Native American (family legend).

There is much speculation about the parents of Susannah Meadows. Some have placed her as a daughter of William Salon Meadows, others as the last born to Josiah Francis Meadows and Mary Kesiah Bell. We finally decided to compile all of the information we had on file (and could find at the time) and see where it led us. We found this:

1. An original document dated 2 January 1799 whereby William Meadows seeks a license for the marriage of Peter Davis and Susannah Meadows, his daughter.
2. An original document granting a license for marriage of Peter Davis to Susannah Meadows dated 5 January 1799.
3. Witnesses to the request for a license of marriage were Jonathan Roach and John Stuart, whose families were know associates of William Meadows. Beckley Herald August 1950 and 1810 census.

Susannah married Peter Davis [24446] [MRIN: 8296] on 7 Jan 1799 in Greenbrier County, Virginia. (Peter Davis [24446] was born about 1765 in North Carolina and died before 1850 in Greenbrier County, West Virginia.)
