Nehemiah Mead (born twin to Enos, Nov. 17, 1721 - bet 1760 and 1764) son of Jonathan, grandson of John, great grandson of John, second great grandson of William, was said to be born in Greenwich and died in Crum Elbow, Dutchess County, New York.

Asserted to have married Sarah Barton (Jan 5, 1723 - aft. May 1760, born in Greenwich) on Dec. 19, 1746.

Asserts that his will, written in Crum Elbow, dated May 21, 1760, mentions wife Sarah, four sons - Nehemiah, Joseph, Phillip, and Noah - and daughter Sarah Mead. Executors named were brothers Enos and Jonathan, both from Crum Elbow. Freelove Barker, Samuel Barker Sr, and Samuel Barker Jr. of Dutchess County were listed as witnesses. (source: Calendar of Wills, New York, 1626- 1836).

Asserts that Nehemiah had a twin brother named Enos, so the existence of a son named Enos is questionable. He wasn't listed in the 1760 will, which was probated Jan. 27, 1764 (Source: Weaver, Lucius Egbert, Copier, Will of Nehemiah Mead, Received from Wanda Mead Campbell, 29 Jan 2005).
