I am trying to track a Charles Meachum b. ~1848 in England and lived in Avon Twp., Oakland Co., MI in 1850 & 1860. His wife was Jane b. England ~1811. Son Edward b. England ~1839.

These folks were living next door to a Bates/Wells family in 1850.

By 1860 young Edward is single living with another family in Waterford, Oakland Co. Mi.

All of the above mentioned Meachum's have disappeared by 1870, but strangely an 11 year old Charles Meachum shows up in 1870 living with the same Bates/Wells family in Wayne Co., MI. Trying to determine relationship, if any.

One suspicion is there was a Bates/Wells daughter Eliza/Elizabeth who was 5 years younger than Edward who also disappears. Is it possible the 11 year old Charles is the grandson of the elder Charles and Jane as well as the Bates/Wells’?
