Sam Meatte/Grover Meatte family of Portageville, Mo.

Posted by Luke L. Meatte <lmeatte@prodigy.net> on Thu, 14 Aug 2008, in response to Meatte Family, posted by Misty Meatte on Fri, 23 May 2008

Misty: Just happened to see your note to my granddaughter, Jamie, and thought I would write to you and fill in a few answers for you.

I'm sure your father was Doyne Meatte, whom I grew up with in Portageville, although he was a few years older than I.

My father was Grover Cleveland Meatte and is the person the park there is named for. We (Grover's descendents)just put up a new park identification monument there last month.

Your father and Grover were brothers, along with Gus, Ab, Della, Amelia, et al.

Their parents were Sam Meatte and Mary Florida LeSieur, who was the Grandaughter of the third LeSieur brother to settle there, in the late 1700's, and Eustace DeLisle, one of the founders of the city itself.

My wife, Charlotte (nee)McCrate, had fourteen children, including Jamie's father, Peter, our #3 Son.

If this is of interest, please let me know.
