I talked with Allene Bradley, his niece and she told me the following:

William Nathan Meade was from Russell Co., he was born 1899 son of James :Henry Meade and Ellen Kate Herd/Hurd.

Grandparents were Daniel E. Meade and Judea Rebecca Moore.

GG Grandparents were Nathan Tucker Meade and Mary Elizabeth Jessee/

3rd GG Grandparents were Fielding Lewis Meade and Mary Thacker.

4th GG Grandparents were Henry Meade and Frances Young.

5th GG Grandparents were Thomas Meade and Johannes Cuntze.

This branch of Meades were mostly from Russell Co..Hope this helps.

Note: William Garret-- court appointed as guardian to Thomas Mead's orphans, being all under 14 years old on Nov 16 1770. Spotsylvania Minute Book 1768 - 1774, pg. 137. Bond of William Garret as guardian to William, Thornton, and Minor Mead, orphans of Thomas Mead, dec'd 11-16-1770.

Thomas was originally listed as a son of Andrew. If the dates are looked at closely, this is a virtual impossibility. Though it makes more sense that he is a grandchild of Andrew, he is not proven to be child of David.

Listed as possible father of Henry and Noted in Pittsylvania and Essex Cos by E. McCallum He is listed as such by C. Vance and J. Wallace. Bob Hancock believes Henry's father is John Meade whose father was a brother of this Thomas (the father of Wm. Thornton and Minor).

He bases this belief on the Orphans Return in Louisa Co. and The obvious close family connection since Wm, Thornton and Minor were witnesses or sureties at Henry's wedding. E. McCallum lists marriage recorded p. 360 Louisa Co., VA Marriage Register 1766-1861, 5-3-1781

NOTE : This Dickenson genealogy [1] says that Thomas Meade descends from David Meade and Susanna Everard, however this is incorrect, several contemporary family biographies for David and Susanna Meade are available and nowhere is there found in that family, a Thomas Meade.

NOTE: This Meade genealogy [2] says Thomas Meade born c. 1715 was the son of Andrew Meade and Mary Latham, however Andrew Meade and Mary Laham had only two surviving children - David and Priscilla Meade [3]
