MAJOR JAS. MADISON MENG, farmer; P. O. Cane Ridge; was born in Prince
William County, Va., Feb. 22, 1812; to Capt. Chas. and Victoria (Tebbs)
Meng; she a daughter of Captain Wm. Tebbs and a Miss Harslip. A singular
incident relating to the birth of Major Meng, is the fact that he was born
upon the same day of the month upon which the birth of Geo. Washington
occurred, and that his father, Chas. Meng, and Capt. Wm. Tebbs, his
grandfather, were both Captains under that illustrious General.  Captain
Chas. Meng, a son of Chas., Sr., who came from Holland to this country
at an early date settled in Virginia.  The father of our subject, being
born in Winchester, where he lived until fifteen years of age, when they
moved to Woodstock, where in later years he became a merchant of wealth
and prominence.  Inheriting a great amount of property from his wife, he
moved to Prince William County, the land of her nativity, where he
engaged in farming, and raised a family of eleven children, five sons and
six daughters.  Major Meng is the only one of the sons now living;
Charles, two years older than he, the only one of the deceased sons who
left issue, became an attorney of some not in Louisville, where he
resided for a number of years, subsequently removing to Christian County,
ky.  Two only of the six daughters are living: the widow Swing and the
widow of Jos. Kennedy, of Washington, D. C.  Major Meng came to Nicholas
County in Jan., 1833, where he engaged in teaching school, in which
capacity he was engaged fro some time in Bourbon and Nicholas Counties,
subsequently learned the moulder's trade and the business of making
plows at Maysville, which he engaged in at St. Louis, but afterward took
up his old occupation of teaching in the vicinity of his present home.
He was married in Bourbon County to Amanda Malvina Fitzallen Hall,
daughter of Henry and Fannie (Talbott) Hall, who were among the early
settlers of Bourbon County.  THey had two sons, Charles and James, the
mother of whom died on the 15th of April, 1874.  The Meng ancestry were
a long lived people, the father of our subject sitting as an active
magistrate at eighty-two years of have, having held the position of
High Sheriff, having come into that position as being the oldest
magistrate in the county.
