Meadows Family published in Smith County Genealogy book of WPA articles.
One of the earliest families to live in Smith County was Sarah Meadows and her four sons, Sam, Mobley, Dawes, and Zay. These boys were young when Mrs. Meadows arrived and settled on what is now known as the Sam Firth place. The boys grew up, married, and moved away from the old home.
Dawes Meadows settled on what is now known as the Old John Turner Place, one mile north of Mize, and married Sarah Wingate, a school teacher of the county, almost one hundred years ago. Dawes raised a family, but was killed by cavalrymen during the War between the States. This family was curious, in that they refused a public burying ground; instead, they buried their dead upon the farms which they owned and cultivated. Dawes Meadows was buried at this home, now owned by John Tanner, and the land is being tilled over his grave.
Mobley Meadows settled the Old Will Barr Place, three miles north of Mize. He also married a Wingate - Sallie, the sister of Sarah. They lived and reared a family at this home; Mobley is the man who rode a horse to Washington and secured patents to much of the land in this community. The original widow Meadows lived with Mobley; she died and was buried on his place, as was their custom. Hinds J. Dickerson, present owner of this farm, now cultivates the land over the graves of the widow Meadows' family.
Zay Meadows reared a family of several children and lived his entire life in Smith County.
'''Sam Meadows''', the most unusual of the group, remained on the old homestead and raised a family of twelve children by six wives. He was married seven times, having married one of his wives twice. His first was a Turbough, of Smith County; she died, and he married a Miss Hester, this being the woman he married twice. The explanation of this follows:
Sam Meadows was a blacksmith and iron worker. On the day of his second marriage, a stranger rode up, desiring his horse to be shod; Meadows told him to wait until after the wedding, as he had to go out and hunt a preacher to perform the ceremony. The stranger was evidently in a hurry, for he told Meadows that he was a licensed preacher and would be glad to perform the ceremony in return for having the horse shod. This arrangement was made and the service performed. Later, Meadows found out that this man was not a preacher, so he was married all over again. This wife died, and he married a Miss Hudson, who soon died; he then married Miss Tilda Ann Mangum, who lived only a short time. His fifth wife, a Miss Singletery, also died, and his last wife, Miss Sarah Delancy, died after a short time. The story is told that when she died, Meadows and A. L. Little, of Mize, were digging a Well. Little, in a consoling manner, remarked to Meadows that he had had bad luck with his wives, to which Meadows replied: "No, I don't think so, as I have had six." Meadows died and was buried by his mother on the Old Will Barr Place.
