I have a Jacqueline Meeks, daughter of Dennis Newton "Newt" and Vertie M. (Schwalls) Meeks, born circa 1932 at Kite, a small town in Johnson County. She is a distant cousin to the Meeks in Coffee County (like me). I have a note that she married Leonard Ricketson on May 22, 1944, in Coffee County. It was pointed out to me that Jacqueline was only 12 at the time. So, either there is probably a mistake in the year, or else it was another Jacqueline Meeks that married Leonard Ricketson. Possibly I made a typo. Possibly they married in 1954. Does anyone have access to the 1944 and 1954 marriage records, and if so could you check? And, I know it's asking a lot, but could you check the application to see who the parents of that Jacqueline were? Who were the parents of Leonard Ricketson and when was he born? Thanks. Clyde
Clyde, According to the Coffee County marriage records there is a Leonard Rickets and Jacqueline Meeks married on May 22, 1944. Reference is marriage book H page 171. That's all I have at home to reference the other info will have to be looked up at the courthouse.
