In Families of Ancient New Haven, vol. 1, p. 239, War Service Records, gives the apportionment of land in the third division of New Haven. "In 1680, the third division of New Haven land was laid out, the apportionment being determined by three considerations: (1) number of heads in family; (2) amount of taxable estate; and (3) service in the late war [King Philip's War]. ... 4 acres were allowed for each member of the proprietor's family, and 1 acre for each £5 of taxable estate, with the exception that a minimum of 20 acres was allowed to each original proprietor." 200 acres were set aside to be allotted for military service. 32 men shared in this land, one was: "Mix Thomas (1628?–1691), about 6 acres excess; m 1649 Rebecca Turner; 11 children."

Two years ago I traveled to New Haven to do Mix family research, I found a great deal. Thomas Meekes died a very wealthy man, and left an estate of £686. He lived in a mansion, and the original New Haven Colony records talk about the peach trees that grew around the place. By profession, Thomas Meekes was a "fence setter", today he would be known as a land surveyor. I was in the old, and famous, Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven, and found Thomas and Rebecca Turner Mix's sons buried there with their wives, interestingly enough they all spelled their last name "Mix". Thomas Meekes descendants were instrumental in the founding of Yale College in New Haven. Of the four cornered "Green" Yale College was founded on, three corners of it were owned by Mixes. I was surprised to find as I visited the Historical Society in New Haven, the name is still well known and remembered there. They brought out Mix information that was so old I could not handle it, and they even had Thomas Meekes's original will.
Thomas and Rebecca were called before the court on July 3, 1649 "to answer to
their sinful miscarriage in matter of fornication, with sundry lies added
thereto by them both in a gross and heinous manner".
