Albert or Nicholas Meeker

The name Meeker is derived from 'Le Marque', which means 'The Thin Man'. The original one of this name came south with Rolf the Viking, who was the ancestor of William the Conqueror. A Le Marque invaded England with William and his troops, seized the Battle Field of Hastings, which has since been called Le Marque's Field. It was given to Le Marque.

(From the genalogy of Miss Elizabeth Dullager Meeker, Hanover, New Hampshire)
