Meatte Family- Portageville, MO.

Posted by Misty M. Meatte <misty@gtmcdonald.com> on Tue, 21 Oct 2008, in response to Meatte Family, posted by Jimmy L Meatte on Sun, 30 Sep 2007

My grandparents are Louis D. Meatte and Nadine Tanner Meatte. I was born in St. Charles, Mo., but have lived in Florida since I was 8 months old. I have family that lives in Portageville, Mo. My grandfather's sister Tootsie Meatte Pike still lives there. We do pronounce the name Met.I have a family tree at home that my father's (Louis D. Meatte, Jr.) cousin Mark Meatte did. I believe the first names listed on it is Sam Meatte and Mary Florida Lesieur. I do know Sam Meatte was in the Confederate Army and later opened a saloon in Portageville. He was among the fist settlers there. Hope that helps as I am still researching the family myself.
P.S. There is a Meatte Park in Portageville that Luke Meatte opened and dedicated in Grover Meatte's name (his father and my grandfather's uncle, a Meatte Street and a Meatte housing complex.
