From:Jack.Meredith@mba.wfu.edu Hi Jerry-- Sure, that's fine. I might note that since I wrote that, we have confirmed that Robt. Meredith Sr.'s wife was Elizabeth and their eldest son was Job (1688-1748). jack ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -----Original Message----- From: Bluchp56@aol.com To: Jack.Meredith@mba.wfu.edu Sent: 1/28/04 7:04 PM Subject: MEREDITH(s) of Delaware & Maryland (especially Job & Lydia) Happy good Wednesday evening Jack. I would like to submit this information to the MEREDITH-L rootsweb site. I realize you had worked very hard organizing these valuable pieces of this great surname. And that is why I must have your input before I send. Thank you, in advance, Jerry ________________________________________________________________________ ___ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MEREDITH(s) of Delaware & Maryland (especially Job & Lydia) " The MEREDITH(s) of Delaware (& of Maryland before any move) were inclined to recycle given names of their Ancestors, particularly biblical names. Thus it would have been difficult for anyone (especially a Tax Assessor to determine which actual Job MEREDITH could be defined/linked to any assessed/particular piece of property during that given date/event ie Job (1688-1748) (son of Robert Sr.), Job (1729-1765)*(son of Hugh), Job (1732-1793)* (son of Robert Jun/Jr.), Job (single), Job (married), Job of Hook, Job of Jos., and so on. (it also drives genealogists nuts)" "We believe Robert Sr. died in Dorchestor county before 1728* and the Administrator was a Job MEREDITH + heirs Hugh MEREDITH + Mary COOK. We also believe Robert Sr. (Spouse: Elizabeth) died in 1727* based on the tax records in Delaware which list "Robert Jun" in 1727* but only Robert in 1728* (we believe that in those days the "Junior" & "Senior" were established as a means of identification & the "Juriior" of this particular gentleman was dropped because the Robert Senior either died or moved from that area" Above quotes from "Ancestors, Relatives & Descendents of Job Sr. and Lydia MEREDITH of 18 Century Kent County,Delaware.
