you are more than welcome
Capt. Richard Meacham's son Hezekiah's family was in Henderson Co TX at the same time as my 3rd grandfather James Mitchum's children where in nearby Van Zandt.
James was b sometime bet 1784 and 1794
The 1850 census shows his age as 56 b NC the 1870 shows age 87 b NC both are in Shelby Co TX
no 1860 census is found for him or his family even though I have other records indicating they where in the same county as the 1850 and 1870

I however believe my James belongs to the Anson Co NC Branch of Meachum and Mitchum families based on other evidence I have
