Jane Dunlap was born Oct. 15, 1811, Illinoise She and Jeremiah Meek were married Dec. 31, 1829, Henry County, Tenn.
He was born Dec. 25, 1806, Tenn.,Son of Jeremiah and Betsy Blevins Meek.

They lived Osage Township,' Carroll Co., in 1840 and farmed in Carrollton Township in 1850.
Very early the Meek family owned land north of Carrollton. Their original home stood at the foot of a hill on the main road from the White River to Carrollton. On May 1, 1845, Jeremiah Meek recieved a U.S. patent for a portion of land that made up part of the eventual total of 295 acres. Jeremiah Meek died May 24, 1856, and was buried at the Meek family cemetery on the Meek place now in the Coin community.
