Question

Does anyone have info on Martin VanBuren Meeker's parents...Daniel D and Sarah Whitesides?

Answer 1

Hi,

You may have all this info but it is a collection of bits and pieces from several websites:

Daniel & Sarah were marr. in Madison Co. Illinois on 4 Feb 1823.

DANIEL D. MEEKER born abt. 1800 died Feb. 28, 1852.  He was born in Kentucky and moved to Edwardsville, Madison Co., ILL.

Sarah was born in Illinois. She passed away on Nov 1836 in Madison Co., Illinois, USA.

She had at least 2, maybe 4, children with Daniel.

One was Louisa Rebecca Meeker marr. Charles W. Jones.

Daniel D.'s 2nd wife was Mary Elizabeth Woodward.

Siblings of Daniel D. are:

ORREN MEEKER born abt. 1812 died Mar. 19, 1972. He may have been a Colonel. I don't think he ever married. But he did leave 1/4 of his estate to SUSAN MILLS.

ELIZA CATHERINE MEEKER born 1815 died 1880. She married GEORGE KELLY. I have lots of info on her.

SUSAN MEEKER

JOSIAH MEEKER
HENRY MEEKER

I also found these msgs on a BB. which may be of interest.

Hi.  I have most of that info.   What I would REALLY like to learn is who were Sarah's parents?  :-)  I don't suppose you would know that would you??
