Still seeking parents for Martha Meekins who was born and married in this county. Also parents for Barrett Patton The years of their birth are listed above.. So I assume the marriage took place about 1830-1840 Anyone have the time to do a look up in the Marriage Index Book listing those years for Patton?? Or if your county is one blessed with a Brides Registry in there for MEEKINS in that time span?? They had and raised a family of 8 , sorta small for back then, but maybe there were those that died as infants also. I don not know what church they belonged to or attended . Their children were Anderson Patton Maraim Patton Matthew L. Patton William I. Patton Joseph Patton Philip Bartley Patton Alexander Patton-my direct line Martha A. Patton Please feel free to email me at my home binkley206@chartermi.net If you are related to this family in any way also or have information conserning them. Marsha
