Notes

Enos is the son of Samuel & Sarah (Pope) Meacham. His mother was a first cousin to Benjamin Franklin. Enos md. Rachel Kibbee on 3 Nov 1763 in Enfield, Tolland, Connecticut. (Connecticut Town Birth Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection)).

"History of Cortland County" (H.P. Smith, Syracuse 1885) p. 356--"The Meachams, including five brothers, settled early in the eastern part of the town. Their names were Simon, Gideon, Issacher, Isaac, and Jonah; they located near Merrill Creek. Jonah kept a tavern for a time, where Homer Wightman's cheese factory is now located."

Deeds from the sale of Meacham land include a "Meachum Burying Ground", a private cemetery located on lot 64 of Marathon town, Cortland County, New York. This cemetery has since been deserted and destroyed.
