Hi all searchers of this great surname. Help George find his ancestor(s) Simon and his family. Thank you, Jerry Contact joanngeo@bcpl.net ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://genforum.genealogy.com/m/meredith/messages/1724.html Simon Meredith, PA to MD Posted by: George Meredith NuetzelDate: February 22, 2002 at 05:43:40 of 2044 I have some evidence of a Simon Meredith in Frederick County, MD who may be my an ancestor. He is shown in MD during the mid 1700's as owning property, taking an oath of fidelity, being a road overseer in the Linganore area of Frederick County and being a Captain in the Linganore Battalion of the MD Militia. He is possibly the Simon (1729 -1828) who migrated from Chester County, PA, and was married to the twice widowed Catherine Phillips Williams Norris. They had at least two children, Thomas Meredith (c.1774 -15 September 1828) and Levi Meredith (14 November 1778 -17February 1872). The problem is there were many Simons in Chester County, PA and I am trying to prove my relationshop to the proper one. On a related subject, I have a copy of Thomas Meredith's will probated in Anne Arundel County, MD and information on his children particularly John Thomas Meredith (12 August 1812 - 1 June 1888), my g-grandfather. If anyone is interested in any of this information, please let me know.
