Biography
Geroge Wilson Meeks died Dec 20, 1927, age 72, in Pelham, Grundy, Tennessee. His father is recorded as Britten and his mother is recorded as Emily Erby.[1]
Research Notes
George's death record gives his parents as Britten Meeks and Emily Erby, but FamilySearch has his parents as James Meeks and Nancy Smith.[2] Possibly two different Georges are conflated here? In 1850, a George Meeks is in both Britten and Emily's household[3] and in James and Nancy's household[4].
