Also Individual:Ransom Meadows[292808 Whatley-Cook.FTW]-"I have s ome handwritten records that show a Ransome Meadows m. Sarah Stephens 0 2/04/1808 and had 7 children. The following is an excerpt from personal p ages (spelling is as found on original):Ransom Meadows --- Born Decemb er 25, 1786. Died April 2, 1863.Married Sarah Stephens February 4, 180 8. Ransom Meadows was born in Coronade, Warren County, North Carolina. T his is near Raleigh, N.C. He and his wife and several other relatives a re buried in a large sepulchre or Mausoleum as we call them today. This i s located on two acres of ground in Alexander City, Alabama. This was p art of his large plantation and a provision was made in his will that i f the land was ever divided and sold this two acres could not be includ ed. This sepulchre is built of solid rock and was built by his slaves. A t one time he owned more slaves than anyone in Coosa County. His planta tion covered most of what is now known as Alexander City, Alabama.
From these same pages a note near Martha Meadows name says that they ar e buried in the sepulchre with Ransome and Sarah. I have searched throu gh typed and handwritten notes from relatives past, and have found no r eferences to Martha's children (if any) I hope this helps.
