The Mead family appears throughout both supplied family books. Their recorded family groups connect with the Clark and Schulz branches, and the collection includes a portrait identified as Jesse Marion Mead. Read the profiles and original source pages together, particularly where names or dates have more than one recorded spelling.
The Mead genealogy gives Israel Thompson Mead’s birth as October 29, 1784, with birthplace unknown, and his death as October 18, 1832. It places him in Ulysses Township, Tompkins County, New York, and later in Clarksfield, Ohio.
Elizabeth Newman is identified in the Mead family account as Israel Thompson Mead’s second wife. It gives her birth as November 14, 1787, in New York State and names Thompson among the children associated with the family.
Patty is named as Michael Mead’s wife in the Mead family history. Their listed children include Israel Thompson Mead, whose birth is given as October 29, 1784.
Recorded names can include a birth surname, a married surname, or another spelling. Inclusion on this page does not by itself establish that every person belongs to the same ancestral line.
Original records, family accounts, and compiled genealogy have different evidential value. Unverified connections remain marked in the person profiles. A missing marriage, sibling, child, or date means it is not yet established here.
