Nehemiah is an old Messick name. Do you have any firm dates? Julian Mezick had a son, Nehemiah that settled in De. Most of Julian's other children remained in MD. I am trying to tie my Messick line to Julian through Nehemiah. I have a great-great-grandfather, George Nehemiah Messick born abt 1830 in Sussex Co--married a Kizzie Unknown. Perhaps Kizzie is a nick name for Kiziah. If you have any info that might tie in, that would be wonderful. Best regards, Janice
