http://www.familytreebookshop.com/cat-dela.htm A Note to Eastern Shore Researchers Migration patterns during the 16th and early 17th centuries led many planters to leave the Eastern Shore of Virginia and settle in the Lower Shore counties of Maryland--Worcester and Somerset-- as well as Sussex and Kent counties in Delaware (which was part of Pennsylvania--referred to as the Three Lower Counties). Research may be complicated a bit because of the border dispute between the Calverts and Penns which was not settled until 1763 with the Mason-Dixon line. <A HREF="http://www.familytreebookshop.com/#How To Order">How To Order </A> Abstracts of the Proceedings of the Orphan's Court of Sussex County, Delaware: Libers, 1, 2, 3, 4--1708-09 &1728-1777 V.L.

Robert Abney Jr.</A> Date: January 02, 1999 at 18:09:18 of 1932 Seeking information on the family and ancestors of Samuel MEREDITH of Virginia. He was b. ca. 1689, allegedly in King & Queen Co., Va. An NSDFPA entry calls him a son of Thomas MEREDITH Jr. A certain published genealogy calls him a son of William MEREDITH. Still another researcher calls him a son of George MEREDITH.This Samuel MEREDITH d. 14 Apr 1762 in St. Paul’s Parish, Hanover Co., Va. He m. Margaret & had: Elisha, Ruth, and Samuel. Another researcher adds to his issue: Mary (who m. Dannett ABNEY Jr.) and Cassandra (who m. Dr. Abraham ABNEY).Does anyone have information on this MEREDITH family of Virginia? Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. I am happy to share whatever information I have collected and would be pleased to have a “cousin” to work with on this family. I wish all a very happy, healthy, and prosperous new year.R.R.
