Notes

Note N405The Meeker Newsletter Vol. III, No. 4 Oct-Dec 2000 article "A Timothy Meeker, Sr. Deed and What It Might Tell Us" gives all indication based on research by R. Craig kammerer of Basking Ridge, NJ, that Hannah Munn is the actual mother ofJonas Meeker and his brother John. The evidence is strong enough to convince me to change his mother from Desire Cory to Hannah Munn. Jonas Meeker[26]. Born, circa 1740, in Essex Co., NJ. Died, circa 1763, in Essex Co., NJ. He married Sarah Osborne[28]. MAY HAVE BEEN SON OF SARAH PIERSON. Further research by LeRoy Meeker indicates that an explanation of the deed to Jomas Meeker found in the old stone house may be explained by the fact that Miss Munn was the mother of Jonas Meeker. She was a daughter of John Munn and a sister of Benjamin Munn (1730-1818). This made Jonas the nephew of Benjamin Munn. If benjamin and his wife, Jemima (Pierson) Munn (1734-1819), cared for Jemima's mother, Hepzibah Camp Pierson (1696-1769) after her husband Joseph Pierson's death (1693-1759), deeding her old stone house to Jonas would be keeping it in the family. Jonas would have been about twenty-three at the time of the deed (1763). Since Joseph and Hepzibah (Camp) Pierson were also the parents of Timothy Meeker's first wife, Sarah (Pierson) Meeker, they were grandparents to Jonas's half-brother and sister, Joseph and Sarah Meeker. Notes for JONAS (JONES) MEEKER: May have been a member of the Hanover Township Militia (Jones Meeker).
