3.Thomas Meadows, born 1673; died Abt. 1717. He was married to Susannah REYNOLDS

Generation II for John Meadors family

John MEADORS died after 1683. He was married to Susannah Wyatt widow of Thomas Brooks in 1672. Susannah Wyatt married 1st Thomas Brook(e)s, 2nd Job Virgett, 3rd John Meador/Meadoes/, & 4th William Davis. She had one child by each husband. Susannah died about 1699.

She was widowed all four times. She was born about 1649/51 and died sometime between February 1699 & February 1700. She was probably born about 1650 and the indications are that she had kindred in one of the counties which border the Chesapeake Bay.

Thomas Brookes was the first husband of Susanna, and during their brief married life they resided in York County, Virginia, where he died before 28 July 1669 leaving a 100 acre plantation which descended by law to his only child, Elizabeth Brookes, subsequently the wife of Josiah Shipp, of Essex County, Virginia

Susanna was yet in her teens when she married as her second husband Job Virgitt (Vergett), of Cheesman Creek, York County, by whom she had a son, Job Virgitt, who was baptized 2 January 1671

Though the place of their marriage has not been discovered, the official court records offer ample proof that Mrs. Susanna Brookes as Virgitt married her third husband, John Meader (Meadoes, Meadows, &c.), an early land pattentee of Rappahannock County, by whom she also had one child. On 17 April 1667 John Meaders and Henry Peters were jointly issued a patent for 4,200 acres of land on the south side of the Rappahannock River for the transportation of eighty-four persons into the colony.

John Meaders must also have died when a comparatively young man, and the already thrice wed Susanna married as her fourth and last husband a Mr. Davis and by 1691 appears as a widow on the Rappahannock County Court Records. By Mr. Davis she had issue one son.
