Re: Research question regarding an R. J. Meigs - 1834 - Athens

Lauren,

R.J. Meigs the Indian agent is on the Meigs Family site. Here is the link: http://www.meigs.org/rjm90.htmhttp://www.meigs.org/rjm90.htm . But he died in 1823, so I suspect the one you are after is Return Jonathan Meigs 4th, who was the grandson of the Meigs above and married into the Cherokee tribe. He was with them on the Trail of Tears. Some information on him is at: http://www.meigs.org/rjm372.htmhttp://www.meigs.org/rjm372.htm .
