She died August 1796, in Surry County, North Carolina. James died May 1790, in Surry County, North Carolina. James Meredith was Welsh, but it is not known if he, or a previous ancestor, was the immigrant. The earliest documentation of James and Mildred Bagby is in 1760 and 1762 when the birth and baptism of two of their sons, Samuel & Daniel, is recorded in St. James Northam Parish of Goochland County, Virginia. This was documented in the Douglas Register. A deed dated 20 May 1764 shows John Woodson sold to James Meredith 150 acres in Goochland County, Virginia on both sides of the James River. I believe this is not our James, but the James Meredith who died in Cumberland County, Virginia in 1750 or 51. Cumberland County was formed from Goochland County, Virginia in 1749 from that part south of the James River. Possibly our James and his family migrated to the Bedford County area of Virginia by or before 1769. According to family tradition James Meredith Jr. married Mary Crews in Bedford County, Virginia in 1769 and it is possible the entire Meredith family was there at that time. James Meredith, his wife Mildred Bagby and the family probably entered North Carolina in 1771 as he appears on the Surry County tax roll that year. Surry County was formed from Rowan County in 1770 and at the present time no Rowan Co records have been found for him. James and his family probably came into North Carolina on the Great Wagon Road, which came in at the northeast corner of what was then Surry County, North Carolina (that part is now Stokes County.) Possibly James marked off his land at that time. He entered two 600-acre parcels of land in May 1779; they were surveyed 4 May 1780 with his sons Samuel and Daniel serving as chain carriers. The land was recorded on 3 Nov 1784. According to the book Stokes County Heritage, tobacco is king in Stokes County and has been since the county was formed. Stokes County is one of six counties in North Carolina that have always primarily depended on tobacco for its income. It therefore seems safe to assume that James raised tobacco. Mildred Bagby was the wife of James Meredith. Her parentage has not been established at this time. It is possible her father was John Bagby and that her brothers were John (b Hanover Co, Va 1737,md Theodosia Morris), Thomas, and Richard Bagby. It has also been surmised that James Meredith had been married once before and his older children were by that first marriage, with the younger children by his marriage to Mildred. There is no proof and this is merely a supposition. Children: 2. i William b. ca 1742. 3. ii James b. ca 1747. 4. iii John b. 1749?. 5. iv Mary b.
