CHARLES, 
Thanks again for all this information!  What my primary interest is my 
greatgrandfather, JOHN MEEKS. He was born 1812 or17 in Pitt Co., NC.  I have 
all his children, etc from that time forward...I cannot find out who were his 
parents and siblings. I feel he went to GA. with some of his 
family(bro.,sis,parents?) in the 1800's. He would be 15 in 1827, isn't that 
the Land Grant time?

I believe he was born in NC and I have pictures of Tombstone in NC. 
What is so strange is that he appeared in 1850 with a wife and one child in 
the Pitt Co. Census.(wife is Sarah Elizabeth Wainwright). I have the Pitt Co 
census pages  or index for 1701/1769 thru 1900.  Henry or Josiah could be his 
father....going by males ages.  Hate to be so wordy but this just thrilled me 
to get this info. I have some of these names but this is a great gift!  I 
appreciate you doing this.  Are you kin to the Meeks?
I'll take all the info you are willing to part with...anytime! (( hug ))
