Andrew Meeks - Ontario - Aug 15, 1828
Andrew Meeks 11/03/03
Hi Darrell, I have been TRYING to work a bit on extended Meeks family. I am not a Meeks desc. but my grandfather John Wesley Keech was lifelong friends with a woman/cousin who was...because of his association and because they both came from same area in Ontario (Cloyne/Anglesea) I started working on her Meeks and our mutual Hawley families 3 years ago. She was Edith Hawley married to Alexander Finch. Edith's mother was Rose or Roseanna Meeks married to Coleman Hawley. Roseanna's parents were Dennison Meeks and Martha Eliz. Meeks. I am a Hawley desc.
There is a gal who lies in Alberta named Helen Meeks who is supposed to be publishing something on Ontario Meeks families but haven't heard from her in awhile. Helen are you still out there somewhere and what is hap. with your Meeks info?
I have a birthdate for your Andrew of Aug. 15, 1828 and that he died after April 1901 so he must be on the 1901 census, I presume in Barrie, Addington County, Ontario but I did not record where I found him.
I have recorded names of his two wives as Sabrina Thompson and Hester Asselstine, no dates for them, but presume he married Sabrina first about 1849, had children Solon, Rowland, Angeline, John and Della with her, possibly other children whose names I don't have; with Hester he had Nathan and Andrew Dexter and possibly others. I have birthdates for them and names of some spouses and children, etc. for some of these people. Angeline Meeks married George Alpheus HAINES, another family I am keenly working on in Ontario (Haines and then Haynes in New York State).
Sabrina Thompson's parents were Levi Thompson and Margaret A., no surname yet, someone else must know what her maiden name was? Have no parents for Hester, again someone else must have that info/Asselstine lines pretty well researched?
I would like to know more about a Joseph and Jerusha Meeks, and will send what info I have if it helps you Darrell. Do write to me at my e address.
Nora in Alberta
