There were 377 residents in the village. The Evangelical residents attended the Schivelbein, Belgard church." * Meesow (Mieszewo) "Meesow was one of 32 villages that belonged to the Dewitz family prior to 1900s. From 1804 to 1869 Lieutenant Leopold Ludwig Dewitz owned the estate. The village was both an estate and a church village. According to a report, dated 1868, the Rittergut included 14 farm houses, 2 industrial buildings and 20 tax free buildings. There were 238 people within the 39 families. The livestock included 33 horses, 95 head of cattle and 1928 sheep. The Kirchdorf was made up of 29 farm houses, a church and a Brigadier General's home. There were 306 people within the 50 families. They owned 61 horses, 182 head of cattle and a herd of 1001 sheep. The Meesow Evangelical Church records, which are held in the Landeskirche Archives at Greifswald, Germany, contain many soldier statistics. Also, this report of 20 tax free buildings and the Brigadier General's home indicates that Meesow may have been a base for army training. Surnames found in the Meesow Evangelical Church records include Buss, Kressin, Wiencke, Zahn, Borchardt, Luskow, Pommersten, Pommerecke, Steffen, Krüger, Binnkin, Ackermann, Degener, Pieper and Haege. During the mid 1800s the Evangelical residents of Meesow were a part of the congregation at Roggow-A, that was located a few miles north of Meesow." * Roggow A "Roggow A The Evangelical Church of Roggow was the home church for several villages in the area,i ncluding Meesow, Hoffelde, Sallmow and Margrethenhof.
