I was born to Marvin L Meatte and Nina Wright Meatte in The Dalles Ore. My grandparents were William Bradford Meatte and Mildred Unetta Martin Meatte who lived in Hayti and Portageville Mo.When we moved to Ore we pronounced our name me-at. I understand the name in Mo was pronounce Met. I would like to hear from anyone with ties to Portageville or Hayti to respond. Thank you. Jim Meatte

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.
