FOURTEENTH GENERATION
Not many genealogies show (9712) John as the father of (4856) John Meader of Piscataqua, though most say the latter was probably b. 1625 Fordington, Dorset. Since the baptismal records show the younger John as c. Dec. 1625 in Fordington, son of John Meader, however, there can be little doubt that (4856) John's father was John of Fordington. The same records show that this elder John married Elenor Seager AFTER the younger John was born, so she could not have been the child's mother.
"Some have identified the senior John of Fordington with a John b. 1603 in Bere Regis, Dorset to Thomas & Elizabeth (Wellstead) Meader:
"'John was the eldest son of Thomas and Elizabeth. The Manor Court Books of 1629 mention that John Meader had depastured a heifer in the Common Moor beyond the rate of his tenement. This was a serious infringement of the use of common land. He apparently moved to Fordington and signed the Dorset Proclamation Returns as of that town. These Returns were documents affirming loyalty to King Charles I, prepared in 1641/1642 early in the royal conflict with Parliament. All citizens . . . that is, all males over the age of 18 . . . were pressured to sign.'
"Above also stated in JOHN MEADER OF PISCATAQUA. HIS ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS [Granville Meader, published by the Gateway Press, Inc., Baltimore, 1975, Library of Congress catalog card number 75-33453]"

Although it seems likely that the John who signed the Dorset Proclamation was (4856) John's father, I fail to see how John of Bere Regis was the same man -- since the latter John was still running his cows in Bere Regis (12 mi. E of Fordington) in 1629, four years after the younger John was baptized in Fordington. I have seen no discussion about the matter online; and until I do, I will refrain from listing Thomas and prior generations of Meaders.

NOTE: Savage seems to be the only one who believes Elizabeth Gay and Sarah Tuttle married the same man; but I haven't found solid any evidence saying otherwise.

NOTES: "The 'Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire', by Sibil Noyes, Charles Thornton Libby and Walter Goodwin Davis, shows (4860) Richard Nason, Kittery, had 200 acres at Pipe Stave Landing. His first wife, (4861) Sarah, may have been the daughter of (9722) John Baker who was fined in 1645 for beating Richard Nason black and blue [N.H. et.].
"Old Kittery and Her Families" by Everett S. Stackpole, 1903, shows In 1645 John Baker was presented at Court in New Hampshire "for beating Richard Nason that he was black and blue and for throwing a fire shovel at his wife". Baker was fined five shillings. The name of Richard Nason's first wife was Sarah, and the fact that she has children named John and Baker, as well as the incident above mentioned, suggests that she was of the Baker family."
