Biography

Elizabeth Meadows, daughter of Arris Preston Meadows and Martha Byrnside was born about 1810, probably Greenbrier (W) Virginia.

Elizabeth married William Ferrell (Ferrel) on Feb 10, 1830 (vs 1820) in Kanawha County, Virginia. ^[1]

Elizabeth died about 1846, probably Boone or Cabell County Virginia.

This deed has not been located to confirm names, but we can assume from this statement that Arris and Martha had 14 children, among which was Elizabeth married to William Ferrell.

. . . .Sometime after the death of Arris, around 1826, his heirs divided the land and a deed made by Elizabeth Ferrell and her husband, William names the children of Arris and Martha. In this deed, Elizabeth relinquished all claim to her father's estate to the other thirteen children. Later one of the heirs bought out the interest of the others. . . . ^[2]
