Good afternoon JinM1 It was my pleasure to attempt to help you find a lost ancestor. I suggest you revisit the URL that I posted to U. Always a chance I goofed and left off additional page or two. U mentioned Job....Problem with mentioning that given name (Job)...I bet you have no idea the amount of folks, in the past history of MEREDITH/MERIDETH etc, had that name. Do you want proof? Ok! Everyone reading this, having a Job with this surname, please send in a short note... See I told you...haha Bluchp56@aol.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Subj: Re: MERIDETH, George Washington Search results Date: 7/27/2002 10:50:12 AM Central Standard Time >From :JinM1 To: <A HREF="mailto:Bluchp56">Bluchp56</A> Thank you for the reply. I was surprised to see 17 George Meredith listed and even more so when MY George was not among them. My George was born ca. 1810 in Ohio, was married in Licking County, Ohio and moved to Marion County, IL. He was married least three times and I descend thought his marriage to Rachel Coursin. He died on 28 August 1879 in Marion County, IL I am interested in George' parents, Samual Meredith (b. August 19, 1768 & d. October 1, 1840) & Elizabeth Sutton. Samual may be come from Isle of Wright, Wales but I cannot confirm that. His father may have been Job Meredith but that is a stretch. As a side note, I was in Wales a few years ago and had the opportunity to look in the Cardiff telephone directory. There were many pages of MEREDITH listings. Like a Jones or Smith might be here in US Jim Meredith.
