I'm new so there may have been an earlier post over the years.  As I have 
seen and observed by others there are many submitted errors on 
Ancestory.com so I have been double checking sources but have come to a 
block.  

I am trying to find the first wife of Jeremiah Meador b. abt 1746 - abt 1815 in 
Bedford, VA.  There are others by the same name (of course) so I am only 
interested in this Jeremiah Meador.  I believe he married Caroline ??? 1766 in 
Amherst.  While many trees give his wife as Elizabeth, who is mentioned in his 
will.  I believe she was his last wife and they married only three years prior to 
his death - so not the mother of Mary Meador, one of his children, and my 
ancestor.  

I'm looking for advice of where to search.  Does it make sense to collect all 
the surnames in Bedford at the time to see how many have daughters named 
Caroline?  Or is that far too much to expect?  And how would I even do that 
with no census?  

I would appreciate any help with her identifcation or where to search.
