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.
