Allen Meader, son of Abraham Meader (1773-1856) [0135] and Sally Allen (b.1778), was born in Ellsworth, ME in 1810. He married Sarah Copp [There may be some confusion here: see [0260]]. They lived in Ellsworth, where the children were probably born.

[Note: there were two George Meaders of approximately the same age, who came from Ellsworth and married an Emma; one died in 1908 in Sibley, the other in 1929 in Topeka. The parentage is still confusing as the two seem both to have been sons of Allen Meader and Sarah Copp. We have a copy of the death certificate for George W. Meader with these parents listed.]
