Here's a link to the transcription of those records (see entry #111). http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~monewmad/nm-baptisms/nm-baptisms.htm Francois Meatte did marry a Nancy Nicholas in 1853. Assuming this is the same Nancy who was the daughter of William B. and Nancy Nicholas, her second marriage was to John B. Meatte, and third to Robert Frazier. (I am a descendant of William B. and Nancy Nicholas' daughter, Lorenza Dow.) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
