     I presume the 1804 birth date you put down was based on the 1850 census. (No, the date was recorded by the person who read the cemetery in the 1980s)
     There are some questions about where she died. Some sources claim she died in Hickman Co., KY while others say in Tallahatchie Co., MS and was then brought back to Hickman Co., KY for burial.
     Daniel and Jane were the parents of 12 known children. Four of these, in addition to Susan, died in Hickman Co., KY ca.1842-1853. If there are unmarked graves in the Stewart Cem., besides those recorded at Find a Grave, there's a good chance some belong to these other children.

     23. Joshua Meek was born between 1800 and 1802 in Henry Co., KY. The name appears in the 1830 census of Henry County but not in the 1840 census. He paid taxes from 1828 to 1838. Deed records give the name of his wife.
     He married Sally Stewart (daughter of John Stuart and Mary "Polly" Rawlings) on 5 Mar 1821 in Henry Co., KY. She was born about 1805 in Henry Co., KY. Joshua Meek and Sally Stewart had the following children according to undocumented histories:
Note: The 1850 census of Henry Co., KY list Sarah Meek age 40, Hiram age 27 and Sarah age 10. Although Sarah's age is inconsistent by 5 years, Hiram's age is consistent and Sarah may be Joshua's wife Sally Stewart. James is likely the son b: 1820-1825 in the 1830 Henry Co., KY census.²

     Jacob Meek and John Meek lived between 1773 and 1789 at Moon Township, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania, USA;
Per MeekGenealogy.com:
     John Meek settled in Moon Township in 1773 along with Jacob Meek in near by Findley Township. Joshua came to Moon Township in 1774.
     The book History of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, 1876, by Samuel Durant, in the section on Moon Township, records the arrival of Joshua in South West Pennsylvania on page 149.
MOON TOWNSHIP
     In 1769 (April 3), in pursuance of an application made by Henry Montour, order was granted for the survey of a tract of land now occupied by Middletown and some of the descendants of Robert Vance. ...
     Joshua, John, and Jacob Meek were early residents on the property now owned by their descendants. …
     The Meek patent was dated April 7, 1788, and the warrant for survey September15, 1784. The "Tomahawk Claim" was no doubt taken up several years before, and it is not improbable that they were in the township previous to 1776.
     Jacob Meek settled in Findley Township, adjoining.
     A more recent history, specific to Moon Township, Forgotten Past, A History of Moon Township, Pennsylvania, 2006, by Dr. Robert A. Jockers, examined early Virginia land grants and indicated that John was one of the first six permanent settlers who came to Moon TWP in 1773. This is supported by his Virginia certificate used to obtain his patent.
     In the 1770s and 1780s Moon Township was a remote, heavily wooded, area with only a handful of cabins. There were no roads, churches, schools or other signs of civilization. The first village was not established until 1797. The inhabitants cleared only enough land to raise food for the family. Travel was difficult and social life was restricted to the family. These were highly independent and resourceful people who established a new life in a new land.
     According to Dr. Jockers, in 1777 the settlers began to leave the area due to hostility with the Indians. A stockade was built on Robert Vance’s property and John joined the local Militia. In the winter of 1781 the hostilities had increased and the remaining settlers in the township departed for Ft. Redstone. In the summer of 1783 John and 10 other original settlers returned. John was listed in the 1781 and 1783 tax lists of Robinson Township, Washington Co., PA.
     Heinz History Warrantee Atlas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, 1914 describes John land grant in Moon TWP which adjoined the land of Joshua Meek. Jacob's land was near by.
     It should be noted that these grants (patents) were processed during the 1780's after the territorial dispute between Pennsylvania and Virginia was settled. The survey, which is based on Virginia certificates, states “…do hereby certify that John Meeks is entitled to four hundred acres in the county of Yohogania on Montouirs Run to include his actual settlement made in the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy three also a right to preemption to one thousand acres adjoining thereto.”
     Various genealogies, including the DAR, have reported that John Meek who died in Henry Co., KY in 1803 served in the War while in the Maryland Army. There were several people named John Meek(s) listed in various muster rolls. Available records do not clearly identify many of them. Cemetery abstracts say that John served as a private in the 6th Co., 4th BN, MD Troop. The cemetery marker was placed on the grave 150 years after John’s death and may not be true. It is now known that John was in S. W. Pennsylvania by 1773. The area was controlled by Virginia and two of John’s brothers served in the Virginia military. It was reported in local histories that he joined the local militia to address serious and ongoing Indian hostilities. It seems unlikely that John returned to Maryland to join the army.
     John was listed in the 1788 tax list of Robinson Township., Washington Co., PA. He was not listed in the first tax list (1789) of Moon TWP Allegheny Township., PA.
     John sells his property on 9 Nov 1789 to James Mitchell. The deed is recorded in Alleghany Co. Courthouse, Deed Book 2, p. 113. His wife's name is given as Margaret. Joshua Meek witnessed the deed and John's land adjoined that of Joshua's.
     John left Moon TWP in 1789. Jacob was listed in the 1790 census and then leaves himself. Joshua remained until he died in 1818.³
In John Meek's will dated 2 May 1801 at Henry Co., Kentucky, USA, Jacob Meek was named as executor;

     22. Jonathan Meek was born about 1798 in Henry Co., KY according to census records. His name is listed in his fathers probate record. He appears in the Henry County census between 1820 and 1850. Deed records provide the names of his father and wife. He moved with some of his brothers to Clay Co., IL. He died 28 Nov 1853 in Clay County according to cemetery records. His will is dated 25 Nov 1853 and lists his children.
     He willed two parcels of land which were located in Oskalossa Twp, West central Clay County to his son, Jonathan, Neither parcel was owned by a Meek in 1881. Another parcel in nearby Marion County was willed to William. Apparently Squire and John had already been given their land. Squire and John both lived in Louisville Twp. in the 1860 census. None of them are in the 1770 census.
     He married Catharine Newhouse on 1 May 1820 in Henry Co., KY according to marriage records. She was born about 1801 in Kentucky. Catherine and son, Jonathan, are listed in the 1860 census of Clay County. She moved to Arkansas with her daughter Lavinia. She died 21 may 1881 and is buried in Mansfield, AR.
Notes:
Cemetery records give Jonathan's age as 58 yrs, 24 days.
Nancy Meek daughter of Jonathan Meek: Previous version of this page indicated that Nancy Meek, wife of Willis Henderson, was a daughter of Jonathan Meek. However, additional information would tend to refute that. Nancy was likely a daughter of Jesse Meek born 1780. Census records tend to indicate that Jonathan only had the daughters mentioned in his will.¹
