Jerry Bluchp56@aol.com Hi Jerry and all, Today I decided to pull every Meredith, including soundex versions, from the 1790 census. There are 61 of them (according to ancestry). I will type this in my data base and then forward it on to the list. Now for Job Meredith. I found 1 "Job" listed on the 1790 Maryland census. He was in Queen Annes county, township unknown, there a 2 white males ages 16 and up including head of household, there is 1 free white male under 16, 1 free white female, no slaves. Hope this is of some help to you. Barb in GA
