Carleton Meek in "Meek Genealogy" identifies several Meeks as living in South Carolina at various times. Lucy Womack Bates in "Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution Buried in Tennessee" (1974) reports that Adam Meek (called No. 2 in my brother's research, to distinguish him from the Adam Meek who received land grants west of Charlotte, North Carolina) was born in Londonderry, Ireland, in 1746 and immigrated through Charleston, SC in 1763 to settle on Waxhaw Creek just south of Charlotte. This area was a part of SC until 1771. This is the Adam Meek who moved to Jefferson County, Tennessee about 1786 and died there in 1828. Supposedly he fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain, as did several other Meeks. Kings Mountain Park is in SC, while Kings Mountain (the town) is in NC. There are still a lot of people named Meek and Meeks in that vicinity. There are a Meek Road in Gastonia, NC and a Meeks Road in Chester, SC. Have you tried this website? http://members.aol.com/chrismeek/Genhome.htm? I could send you copies of my brother's research. He is a thorough and scholarly person. I have just begun to get into genealogy so my grasp of all this is sketchy. Anne Meek Kraine
