About this Item

4to. 5 pp., approximately 1250 words. Meachum (1844-1926) emigrated with his family from Lilesville, Anson County, North Carolina, to Texas in 1859, enlisted in the C.S.A. as a private in 1862, and ended the war as sergeant major of Co. D, 8th Texas Infantry. Following the war he read law, eventually becoming one of the leading lawyers in Grimes County. In eight numbered paragraphs and a three-page autobiographical sketch, Meachum here describes members of his immediate family and their connections to the family of John Smith, also providing names and addresses of other family members who might offer even more details. The separate five-pages of pencil notes seem to provide names of married couples, the names of their children, and occasional brief remarks about the individuals. The separate five pages of pencil notes show wear and chipping around the edges, otherwise a very good lot. All material folded for mailing. (9912).
