Transcribers Notes:

This was written all in one hand at one time, probably when George Meacham's
bible was received from his mother in 1881.

Dennis Meacham and Fannie (notice the names are spelled two ways in the bible)
were both born in East Hartland, Connecticut, and both died in Mecca, Trumbull
County, Ohio.  Dennis' father, Isaac Meacham, was a Revolutionary War Soldier.  I
have a long history on the Meachams going back from Isaac (to Massachusettes)--I
got it from LDS.  Fannie's father was Asa Cowdery, also a Revolutionary War
Soldier.  I have that history, too.  The soldiers were at Valley Forge with
Washington.  That information is in the Warren, Ohio, Library in a special
collection.  I don't know if all of Dennis' and Fannie's children are listed:
Ira, Amoret, Abigail, and George,  were probably theirs.  George and Adaline
lived their lives and died in Kinsman and Mecca, Trumbull County, Ohio.  I don't
know if all of their children were listed:  Lucina Goodwin Meacham was their
daughter.  I don't know how Mehitable and Georgia Amorett were connected.  If
someone has this information, please contact me and clarify that.

Lucina Meacham married Charles William Falkner, 16 July, 1891, at Jamestown, New
York.  They lived in Mecca, Ohio, and had four children.  Charles was born 3 Dec,
1875, in Mecca.  I have his history going back to 1700's (in England).  Lucina
died 7 April, 1903, after complications from a failed pregnancy; Charles died 8
Aug, 1944, after pneumonia.  Their Greek Revival home still sits on the west side
of the square in Mecca (as Jan, 2001) and is now part of the Historical
District.  The family store, built in 1828, sits on the south side of the Mecca
square, and was called the Mecca Country Inn/Enzo's in the 1980's.  (The building
is haunted. Contact me for details.) I have a long list of their children &
grandchildren, with names and dates.  Contact me if you need to know.  Carole
