Subject: [VA-ROOTS] Bedford VA abt 1750



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.
