Note: It is known that Bazil Meek had a son named Jacob from his probate record. There was a Jacob in the 1840 Henry county census of the appropriate age as well as marriage abstract with the name of Jacob Meek. However, none of the documents make a direct connection Jacob and Bazil. The connection to Jacob in 1850 Clay Co., IL is based on the premise that Jacob in 1840 Henry County census is the son of Bazil and traveled to Clay county with his brothers. Jaob's probate records confirm that this Jacob was the same person in the marriage and census records. All children are listed except Mary. Given the extensive information available about other Meek families in Henry County it is reasonable to conclude through the process of elimination that Jacob was the son of Bazil.
