Notes for William Meek: "Pioneer Families of Missouri", Bryan and Rose, 1876 MEEK - William Meek and his wife, of Greenbriar Co., VA., settled in Woodford Co., KY., in 1804, and in 1806 they removed to MO., in company with DAVID KINCAID and family. They left KY on a flat-boat of their own construction, on which they had their families, their horses, sheep, cows, hogs and household goods. The boat sank before they reached the mouth of the Ohio river, and they then transferred their families and household goods to keel-boats, and drove the stock through by land. While Mr. Meek lived in VA., his mother, wife and two children, (James and Rebecca) were captured by the Indians, but were rescued three days afterward by a party of white men who had gone in pursuit. The Indians placed Mr. Meek's mother on a wild young colt, thinking it would run away and kill her, but the colt, seeming to appreciate the value of his burden, acted like an old, gentle horse, and she was not hurt. Mr. Meek and his wife had 14 children, five of whom died young. Those who lived were John, Rebecca, James, Samuel, Sally, Polly, Benjamin, Joseph and Isaac. John was drowned in KY. Rebecca, James, Samuel, Sally, Benjamin, Joseph and Isaac all returned to KY., where they lived and died. Polly was married in 1807 to JOHN RAMSEY, son of CAPT. WILLIAM RAMSEY. They walked 15 miles to the house of a Justice of the Peace to be married, who performed the ceremony free of charge. POLLY BRYAN, wife of DAVID BRYAN, who was an old lady and wore a cap, acted as bridesmaid, while HENRY BRYAN, her brother-in-law, officiated as groomsman. Mr. Ramsey was an invalid, and died in 1815. He was compelled to make frequent visits to KY to consult his physician, as there were o physicians in MO at that time, and his wife always accompanied him. These trips were made on horseback, and they often had to swim the rivers that lay in their course. On one occasion, they were accompanied by DAVID MCKINNEY, ALECK MCPHEETERS, and a MR. CRAWFORD, and on reaching White river, they camped for the night. Next morning, they all prepared to swim the river on their horses, and McPheeters went first, carrying their bag of provisions, and his saddle bags containing his clothing, etc. The current was very strong, and it carried away his saddle-bags and the bag of provisions, and they had to go without anything to eat for 2 days, as there were no settlements where they could obtain supplies. After the death of Mr. Ramsey, his widow married COL. FRANCIS HOWELL, in Dec. 1816, who died a few years ago, and left her a widow again. She is living at Mechanicsville, St. Charles co., in her 88th year. |
