John Meldrum and Elisha Arnold witnessed when William Allen Sr gave permission for his son Meredith Allen to marry Nancy Cooper. Marriage bond dated 3 Aug 1788 Mecklenburg Co, VA. Does anyone have any additional records on the Meldrums of Mecklenburg?

The will of William Cooper dated 25 June 1802, pr 12 Sept 1808 Mecklenburg Co named dau Lucretia Meldrum and several of her children. Lucretia Meldrum's will named some of the same children and more including Martha L Meldrum who is my ancestor. However the Mecklenburg will of Matthew Jackson named Lucretia Meldrum and one of her later daughters as his heirs. He treated Lucretia like a wife although they apparently never married. Since my Martha Lewis Meldrum was one of Lucretia's later children, I'm not sure if her father was a Mr Meldrum or Matthew Jackson. Lucretia had married Mr Meldrum by 1787 since a daughter Mary Meldrum was born by then. Was John Meldrum the husband of Lucretia? Lucretia had a son named John Meldrum. I need any records that reflect the earlier John Meldrum to try to determine when he died and if he was in fact Lucretia's husband.
