Possibly MECK? It's a bit hard to tell from this snip which is pixelating. Is it possible to include more of the handwriting on the page for comparison?
Probably best to move this thread to the Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition board. I'll ask a moderator to move it.

Could be
MEEK
, but difficult to tell without any other writing from the document.

NB For those looking the name is one of the witnesses in the first record.
It looks like Meek.

Elizabeth Ann Rowell made her mark; she didn't sign.
