Notes for Thomas Hanson II:
            GDMNH gives the following: "Planter, Dover, taxed 1663, ...Lists 356hjk, 357c, 359ab, 94. ... m. Mary (Kitchen)...she was named in his will 24 Apr., cod 6 May 1710 (inv. 8 Nov. 1711), with ch. but Isaac...Mary...her fa.'s will gave her maint. and her mo.'s feather-bed, if she chose, or oe 20 and the bed...Elizabeth recd. oe 10 by will...James had the homestead..." I believe I have interpreted this correctly, however the way the information is presented makes it very hard to follow.
      The "but Isaac" I assume means he was not in will which follows since his death is given as 1706 as "a lusty young man." Also gives Mary's first husband as Timothy Robinson and says she brought her son Timothy with her to Dover. Mary's birth date and location from Savage, Vol 2.

      194. John Meader III (Source: Denise Choppin, "Electronic."), born 1660 in Oyster River, Durham, Strafford, NH; died Bef. 11-02-1736 in Oyster River, Durham, Strafford, NH. He was the son of 388. John Meader II and 389. Abigail Tuttle. He married 195. Sarah Follett Abt. 1680.

      195. Sarah Follett, born Bef. 1654; died Bef. 1725 in Oyster River, Durham, Strafford, NH. She was the daughter of 390. Capt. Nicholas Follett and 391. Abigail (Follett).

Notes for John Meader III:
      The family information (except where noted) and quotes following, come from "John Meader of Piscataqua."
      That John "died in 1736 is presumed from his will, signed November 2 of that year. He was certainly a farmer, as was his father, and possibly a weaver as well. He occupied some of the paternal acres in Oyster River.
      "He was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery, now the oldest military company in America. This celebrated corps was formed in 1637 during the Pequot War and modeled after the plan of a similar group in London. Composed of only the best citizens, it was meant more for home defense and for the training of young soldiers than for active serviec. As it was the special bulwark of the State, great pains were taken to maintain a high standard of discipline....
      "On February 20, 1690 he and Joseph his brother joined with others in a petition directed to the Massachusetts authorities requesting authority to muster train soldiers of New Hampshire and asking that they be taken under the government and protection of Massachusetts. In 1695 he and his brothers Nathaniel and Joseph petitioned the General Court of New Hampshire asking that Oyster River be made township, but this was again not accomplished. (note: his father had joined on a similar petition in 1669)
      "John Meader went to the Durham area in 1676, but he returned to Oyster River when he inherited the Meader lands there (probably about 1715, then). These lands have been located, with some hesitation, about half a mile from Piscataqua Bridge on the west side of the river and on the southwest side of the old Turnpike road that leads to the bridge. The remains of the old house have been tentatively located on the summit of a hill, but a new house has been erected there. Southwest of the old house is an old burying ground that was included in the Meader lands.
      "On November 18, 1686 John Meader deeded to his eldest son Joseph all the plantations where he lived near the Oyster River and those bought of Valentine Hill, as well as twenty acres adjoining the plantation which were part of eighty acres granted to him by the town of Dover. In his will, John Meader gave his son Nicholas his teams, horses and harness only. To his grandsons, john and Jeremiah Tibbetts, sons of his daughter Sarah, he gave twenty shillings to be divided equally between them. To his daughter Elizabeth Hanson and Abigail Davis he bequeathed all his remaining movable estate. The will is signed and dated November 2, 1736.
      "The Reverend Hugh Adams baptized John Meader, 'aged brother of Joseph,' on 'Zif 23,' or May 3, 1728."
      The Meader piece also states that John married two others after Sarah's death. His second wife was an unknown Elizabeth born in 1667. Apparently she was baptized Dec. 31, 1727 by Rev. Adams when she was "60 years old, sitting lame in her chair."
      It seems odd that his third wife, Agnes Clark (widow of Samuel Clark) was not named in his will. The wedding date given is April 5, 1735, which is more than a year before his will was written. If this is true then he must have deliberately left her out. The Meader publication also says: "On April 21, 1737 Agnes Clark Meader gave a quitclaim deed for forty pounds to Joseph Meader of Nantucket, of all the possessions in Durham of her late husband. This was evidently to secure a full release of her right of dower, as she was not named in John Meader's will." She died that same year. He was 65 when Sarah Follett died and 75 at his marriage to Agnes Clark.
     
Children of John Meader and Sarah Follett are:
  97 i.   Elizabeth Meader, born 1684 in Oyster River, Durham, Strafford, NH; died 1737 in Dover, NH; married John Hanson 07-23-1703 in Dover, NH.
  ii.   Joseph Meader, born 04-10-1681; died 1759.
  iii.   Abigail Meader, born 1681; died Aft. 1736.
  Notes for Abigail Meader:
Possibly twin to Joseph since birth year the same.

  iv.   Nicholas Meader, born Abt. 1682; died 1767.
  v.   Sarah Meader, born 1685; died 1725.
