Michael Mead
Dates unknown
Life and records
The Mead family history names Michael Mead and his wife Patty as the parents of Israel Thompson Mead. It places the couple in Clarksfield, Huron County, Ohio, around 1828 and says they later lived with a son in Seneca County.
The book describes Michael as a Revolutionary War veteran, but the identity of the man in the military references still needs independent checking. The proposed earlier Mead lineage is explicitly unproved in the compiler’s own discussion, so this branch stops with Michael and Patty.

What still needs checking
No birth or death date is supplied for this couple in the reviewed entry. The book reports their deaths after moving to Seneca County but does not give dates.
Do not merge Michael with Captain Michael Mead, born in 1781, or attach him to Enos Mead solely because the names appear in the same compilation.
