My gg grandmother was Elizabeth Meredith daughter of Isaac and Margaret Meredith. They came from Wales around 1845. They lived in Frailey township (Donaldson) in 1860 and 1870. Elizabeth married Joseph Ney and they lived in Frailey township and then in Tremont. Elizabeth's brother, William Meredith, moved to Mt Carmel and died there in 1926. I don't know if there is any connection but Tower City and Tremont are so close together that there might be one. Looking forward to hearing from you. Bev (Ney) Wolfgang
