I'm sure your father was Doyne Meatte, whom I grew up with in Portageville, although he was a few years older than I.

My father was Grover Cleveland Meatte and is the person the park there is named for. We (Grover's descendents)just put up a new park identification monument there last month.

Your father and Grover were brothers, along with Gus, Ab, Della, Amelia, et al.

Their parents were Sam Meatte and Mary Florida LeSieur, who was the Grandaughter of the third LeSieur brother to settle there, in the late 1700's, and Eustace DeLisle, one of the founders of the city itself.

My wife, Charlotte (nee)McCrate, had fourteen children, including Jamie's father, Peter, our #3 Son.

If this is of interest, please let me know.

  My gggaunt was Modest Maisonville who married Edward Meatte and Angelica Maisonville (gggaunt) who married Fransicus Meatte. Edward Meatte opened the first trading post in portageville so I understand.

  Thanks so much fo the info. My grandfather was Louis Doyne Meatte and my father is Louis Doyne Meatte, Jr (56 years old). My great aunt is Tootsie Pike (nee Meatte) married to Sam Pike. I am very interested in the Meatte family roots. I have a family tree that my father obtained for me from Mark Meatte. I would very much like to visit Portageville and go to the Meatte Memorial Park. I have seen photos and it looks very nice. I also have the newspaper from when it was dedicated and I am assuming that would be you in the photo. I appreciate you writing back and thank you again for the information.- Misty M. Meatte
