Surnames: Seagraves, Meadows
My gg-grandfather Madison C. Meadows died in Surry County, NC in 1910; his wife Hester Ann Meadows died there in late 1912. Their estate, what there was of it, was administered by a J.H. Seagraves. The only person by that name in that area that I can find is:

In the 1910 Mt. Airy census is the following:
Dwelling/family #282/286:
SEAGRAVES, John H., [3]7, born NC, carpenter
Sarah, wife, 45, born NC
Fred, son, 15, born NC
[Note: "J.H. Segraves" "made his mark" on the estate papers]

In the 1900 Mt. Airy census, dwelling/family #247/251, is this:
Seagraves, John H., May 1876, 22, married 2 years, farmer
Sarah, wife, Apr 1864, 35, married 2 years, 3 children / 3 living
Fredrick, son, Mar 1894, 6

I am trying to determine what the connection was between this Seagraves and the Meadows' - they were not neighbors in the census'; Madison Meadows was from West Virginia and his wife Hester was from Virginia.

Anybody know anything about this Seagraves??

Thank you.
Arley Meadows
