Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Mecks Corner might be written as Meck Corner. For more information, please visit our Genealogy Helper Page for Mecks Corner.
<2>The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required.
