Looking for Meek(s) from Frederick and Berkeley County VA
I have traced my family line back to the Berkeley County
and Frederick County, Va. area in 1768.
Jeremiah and Joshua Meeks are from my direct line.
Jeremiah's daughter Anne, married Ralph Cherry,
son of Thomas Cherry in 1765 in Berkeley County, Va.
P. J. Repp provided me with the following information.
Thomas Cherry & William Cherry, 6 Dec. 1762 - 23 April 1763; 132 acres drains of the Potomac; adjoins Cherry's former patent. Chain Carriers: John Richardson and ????al Cherry. Surveyor Thomas Rutherford.
Archibald Shearer, assignee of Moses Cherry; 29 Feb. 1768 - 8 July 1768; 336 acres on Potomac; adjoins his own, Thomas Cherry's 100 acres & 125 acres patents, Aaron Cherry, Vulgamore and Wells 288 acres survey. Chain Carriers: Joshua MEAKES & John Richardson. Surveyor Richard Rigg.
I would appreciate any information on any Meek, Meeks, Cherry, Mason and Meason families from this area.
