Need help RE Sarah Atkinson who married Jehu Meador

Classification: Query
I would appreciate some help:
Jonas Meador was born abt 1698-1700 to John Meador and his 2nd wife
Jonas Meador married Frances Unknown.
Jonas and Frances had 9 children.
Does anyone have an actual birthdate or year for any of their children? (Bible, tombstone...)
Does anyone have a calculated birthyear for any of their children? (court record, marriage record...)
The dates I have are from "Our Meador Familes In Colonial America" by Victor P. Meador and Bernal M. Meador.
They seem to be "calculated" or "estimates" but they don't say how they estimated their dates.
My line is through their son Jehu Meador.
Jehu was born abt 1738 in (prob) Caroline County, VA. (7th in birth order according to the above book.)
Jehu Meador married Sarah Atkinson.
Sarah Atkinson Meador is said to be the daughter of Samuel Atkinson and wife Mary Ann.
I would like to know how Sarah Atkinson was identified as the wife of Jehu Meador (son of Jonas & Frances Meador). As far as I can determine, no marriage records exist.
There is a "Sarah Meaders" mentioned in the 1794 will of Samuel Atkinson in Cumberland Co, VA:
"... I give and bequeath to my Daughter Sarah Meaders a negro woman named Lucy, a negro boy named Isaac, and negro girl named Agg, all of them now in her possession to her and her Heirs forever ..."
In Jehu Meador's will written 10th of February 1808, there is no mention of his wife, so we presume that she is deceased.
There is also no mention of the 3 slaves Sarah Atkinson Meador inherited.
Is there a land record or other document where Jehu Meador's wife is identified as Sarah?
Thanks,
Sandi
