Robert Meeker who married Catherine (Chappell?) was the father of Sally, Permelia, Ira, Roswell, Daniel (all in New York State)and Robert, born in Ohio. All of these children were married in Ashtabula County, Ohio.
Sally and Permelia married John and Robert Atkin and stayed in Geauga County, Ohio and are buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, Thompson, Geauga, Ohio.
Daniel and Robert moved to LaPorte, Indiana and show up on the 1850 census there. Robert died about 1856 and his second wife, Sarah Marshall, moved to Hancock County, Indiana with her children to live with her mother Catherine Huffines Marshall Denny.
Although the evidence is very weak, I do believe that Robert, the father, was born about 1766 in Redding, Connecticut, to Ephraim Meeker(b. about 1725 to Robert and Abigail [Mallory?] Meeker). This oldest Robert was the son of John Meeker and a grandson of Robert Meeker, the immigrant (from England) who left a large number of descendants in Fairfield County Connecticut, according to Donald Lines Jacobus' excellent History of Old Fairfield Connecticut.
My husband's grandfather, Rusley Romain Meeker, was one of the sons of Robert and Sarah (Marshall) Meeker of LaPorte, IN, and was a first cousin twice removed of the Ephraim Meeker born in 1754 to Robert Meeker and Rebecca Morehouse.
