With so many Francis Meek's to choose from, you have to be a little more specific. I have 14 Francis/Frank Meek's in my Family Tree, but only 4 within a time frame 1655/1754. Francis Meek 1716 was the Uncle of Betty 1746, Joseph 1749 & Priscilla 1755, via his brother John Meek 1709 & Elizabeth Smart 1711. However, their brother George Meek 1714 & Margaret Teague 1718 also had a Priscilla 1753. Their brother James Meek 1711 & Elizabeth Rudge also had a Joseph Meek 1750.

The next question is which Priscilla Meek married John Gagg 1751 on 5 Sep 1775 - Witness Francis Meek & Joseph Harper (the latter can be ignored as he is a Church official). In my Family Tree I have this Priscilla as the daughter of George Meek & Margaret Teague. I have both Priscilla's in my Family Tree and my software can change entire families and all their descendants by the use of a few key strokes. Priscilla baptised 30 Sep 1753, daughter of George Meek & Margaret Teague is a 6 times Great Aunt. Priscilla baptised 7 Sep 1755 daughter of John Meek & Elizabeth Smart is a 1st cousin 7 times removed.
