Hello!! I am doing some research on my Meek Family line. They lived in Wayne County, Ohio and Henry County, Ohio. I am trying to find some family connections. I would like to hear from anyone that had Meek in either of those counties. Mike

Hi Everyone, My name is Mel Brady. I live in Perth, WA. I'm looking for connections to Eva MEEK of FoD who married Ambrose HUDD in Bristol in 1896. I know there are a lot of MEEKs in the FoD, but hopefully someone out there will have common ancestors. regards, Mel BDF: TURNER, CHILDS GLS/SOM/BRISTOL: BRADY/BREDDY, HUDD, MEEK NTH: BREALEY, BUCKBY, WHITE, CURTIS, NICHOLSON SRY: RATCLIFFE, MORLEY, HAINS/HAINES, BARNHAM _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Hello Gene, I also would like the addy of Walker and Nancy Baumgardner. I have a Court Doc on (Jeff )Thomas J. and William Meeks that states they are living in the Baumgardner Settlement ten miles from Eufalla,Indian Terr. This Writ of Subpoena was served Oct.27th 1880 to Thomas Lewis, Albert Ensley,Preston Early and Tibbetts Flack. They are witnesses to the Murder of Johnny Anderson. Jeff Meeks ,William Meeks ,William Wooley and later George Meeks are wanted for Murder. Jeff and William are the brothers of my Gr grandmother Jackoline Meeks. Glynda

Apparently this lady is not a member of the list. Reply directly to her. "Ella May Floren" <emhj@foxinternet.net> Gene Phillips ----------------Forwarded Message------------ Mary Ann Meek Buswell: I found a letter you had written to Walker and Nancy Baumgardner on 6 Sep 1999 regarding the Meek Line. I too am researching the same line and was wondering if you have information you wish to share. I have started with Adam Meek 1640 in Shewsberry, Eng. married to Mary Jordon and then there child Jacob Meek born 1698 or 1717. This is where I am confused as there has been a different research done which has been mixed up on who married Mary Lee. It seems they both did at the same time in what records I have seen. Was Jacob the son of Adam Meek 1640 or Guy Meek. My ggg grandfather was George Meek, born 1794 and Mary Ann Bollen born 1798. If you care to share your information I have some which may help you. Ella May emhj@foxinternet.net

Hello Bonnie: I'm not familiar with the names you listed altho I do often see references to MEEK at Washington Cnty, PA. My line is from Centre Cnty, PA after the Revolutionary War and at Cumberland Cnty, PA before that. You have good information if you have documented it. Just don't be fooled by the info being passed around that goes back to Adam MEEK b 1640 in England. Perhaps the message written today by heitmann@clark.net and forwarded on by Gene Philips will help you make some connections. I notice that he mentions two children born in Washington Cnty, PA in the early 1750's. Wish I could help but my MEEK family was not in Washington Cnty, PA. There may be a connection but I don't know about it at present.

Thomas Meek is listed as having been in what became Augusta County, Va. [Chalkley I, 200] His son David Meeks married Elizabeth. David probably was born 1690-1700. He died intestate. [ibid] His children listed in a suit were Rebecca, Elizabeth, and Sally. Family tradition says that Rebecca Meeks married Samuel Black in 1720. This listing says it was Nancy Meeks. Finally, in Rebecca Meeks Black's will [Chalkley III, 250] she lists some of the same children as Samuel and some other children. [Different families, different fathers, different children still living, different names used of the same people?] Anybody have connections to this family? Juhling McClung

Sorry, But I don't. My Meeks came to Buffalo, Erie Co NY about 1889. as far as I know they stayed in the NY area Patty ----- Original Message ----- From: <NormGlynda@aol.com> To: <MEEK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 04, 2000 3:27 PM Subject: Re: [MEEK] Adam Meek > Hi Patty, I have Jeremiah Meeks and his brother Jacob that married into > the Blevins Family ..... in Tenn. 1802.....

Has anyone who lists Adam Meek b 1640 Lincolnshire, England actually verified the information? There is so much written that cannot possibly be true. When I have pointed this out to a few MEEK genealogists, they simply omit some dates which are obvious discrepancies and continue to pass on the misinformation. The information on Adam MEEK and the next few generations was first written by H B Meek in his 1902 book, "A MEEK GENEALOGY". H B MEEK gave no sources or explainations for the information contained in his book. In 1962 Carleton L MEEK wrote "MEEK GENEALOGY 1640 - 1962". He repeated the genealogy in the 1902 book by H B MEEK. This book also contains no source information. The information in both books is very suspect. Can anyone verify the information that is so frequently passed on? I find my father's name posted on several websites as decending down from Adam, Matthew, John and then Robert and so on down several further generations. The information is not possible. According to Carlteon's 1962 book the following is being passed on via the internet as true.. John MEEK, son of Matthew and grandson of Adam, is listed as born 1686 Ireland. When he was 58 years old, in 1744, he married Elizabeth MITCHELL. The book tells that their son Robert was born 11 years before they married. If this is true, then Robert was not likely the son of both John MEEK and Elizabeth MITCHELL. Robert MEEK is listed as born 1732 in Ireland. According to Carleton MEEK's book, Robert was only nine years old when his son George MEEK was born. Robert supposedly lived in several places across Virginia and Pennsylvania and died in 1838 at the age of 106 years. I believe the writer of this genealogy actually found several different men by the name of Robert MEEK and compiled their information into one person. If any one has actually verified their descendancy from Adam b 1640, please let me and other list members know your source of information. Thanks for listening/reading. Mary Ann Buswell
