Notes
a. Note:   N39 After his father died Joe was raised by Susan Meekins. After he settled in Annapolis he had no contact with his family on the Eastern Shore and never talked about them (he even changed the name he used - he was known as Gus on the Eastern Shore and Joe in Annapolis)., ,
  Have found two possiblities for Susan Meekins so far: 1. 1850 census: Henry Meekins and wife Mary (Travers) with daughter Susan age 16. The age is right for the Susan in 1860 that he is living with. Could Henry have been a brother of Robert’s?
  2. 1860 census: Joe Augustus Meekins was living with a Susan Meekins. They were living with a Daniel Johnson. Could he be Susan’s grandfather? (Robert’s son, Silas Meekins and Susan Johnson were married in 1839 - according to Maryland Marriages). The 1860 census record shows Susan Meekins as 25 years old - that would make her born about 1835.) This Susan makes the most sense to me - but for the marriage/birth dates.
b. Note:   he listed Ireland as his birth place on the 1870 census (where he lived two doors down from his future wife, Martha.)
