AMBROSE2 MEADOR, b. Abt. 1580, Avon, England; d. Abt. 1670, RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY, VIRGINIA.

Generation No. 2

2. AMBROSE2 MEADOR (DANIEL1) was born Abt. 1580 in Avon, England, and died Abt. 1670 in RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY, VIRGINIA. He married UNKNOWN. She was born Abt. 1582 in England.

Notes for AMBROSE MEADOR:
not much is found in the records about Ambrose MEADOR, but we do know that he , his wife (name unknown), and servant arrived in Virginia in late may of 1636. It is presumed that his son Thomas arrived on the same ship, however Thomas would have been an adult and possibly married at that time.

He traded part of his headright property for the cost of his wife's and slaves passages. That was a very common practice at the time of the colonization of the "new world.” A headright was 160 acres, and was granted to the head-of-house upon arrival. They had to work the land and make it productive for 15 years before they could "patent" the land. Their names were kept on a "rent" rooster until the end of the 15 year period. If they bargained for more than one headright, then they served 15 years for each and they could not serve them consecutively. They had to be served one after the other and all land was held until the end of all the 15 year periods.
Ambrose surrendered 150 acres to peter Johnson on June 1, 1636 for the passages previously mentioned.
We also know that Ambrose designated his "sonn" Thomas as his "true and lawfull attorney" in his "place and stead" to appear for him in court and awarded Thomas 300 acres out of one thousand acres sold to him by a Mr. James Williamson as payment for his work.

Ambrose used a large "m" as his mark for all legal purposes. Thomas apparently was literate as it is recorded on legal documents that he signed his own name. We also know that Thomas then signed over 150 acres of that land to a Mr. Richard Tomlynson.

All legal documents state the following concerning land transfers: "give grant bargain and sell unto..(name of person) ...(amount of land) lying and being on ...(location of land) with all the houses priviledges thereunto belonging according to the tennour of by the rents and services unto ..(person) his heirs and assignes forever against all persons claiming by from or under ..(original owner) ...
(spelling errors are copies of actual documents, not typo errors.)
These transactions took place between late 1657 and September 1658.
Ambrose has been identified as a member of the Puritans of the Jamestown Colony. He called his plantation "Accokeek,” an Indian name.

Notes for SARAH HASKINS:
according to a "presents" made by Sarah MEADOR "widdow wife of Thomas MEADOR the younger," Sarah had three children: john- the only son, and two daughters- Susannah, the eldest and Mary. Dorothy's name appears in another family history, but not in this document. Neither of the other two daughters appear in the history, but are mentioned by gifts given to their care by their mother in her document. It is presumed that Dorothy had already married and left her mother's home prior to Thomas' death and therefore did not need to be supported by her mother. This would be consistent with life at that time. Note: time frames given are estimated from old documents and, while the numbers do not always seem to match up, the names are certain and only the dates are subject to change.
