Dear Scottie: I’m not a descendant (that I know of) but was helping someone grab at straws
(different surname). Checking up on surnames in the neighborhood lead me to your queries.
Since the book was right in front of me, thought I’d pass along the information in case it
was something you could use.
There are two entries for Meeks in the book. One is a sketch on Gen. John H. Meeks. With a
quick search I find that it has been transcribed under the “Archive Links” on the McNairy
County, TN
usgenweb.com site as well as two other bio sources for him. (I see that he
married an Atkins and had a half-brother named Orville.) The other “Reminiscences” sketch
is titled “John Meeks, Sr.” which appears to be the father of Gen. Meeks. I’ll be glad to
forward that one to you if you’re interested. You can contact me at
marshafrank(a)hotmail.com. I don’t see any other sketches on the Chambers. (The book’s index
appears to be less thorough than we’d like.)
Marsha
