Elaine, you bring up an interesting possibility that I had not considered. One branch of the Meredith family was somewhat prominent in southwestern Brunswick County, Virginia, in the latter 19th century and early 20th (perhaps before, I do not know). The ancestral home is on Evans Creek Road, perhaps a couple of miles north of US58 / Governor Harrison Parkway, and just north of Evans Creek. A great-grandfather of mine recalled working as a farm hand there about 1880. I just don't know anything about the earlier Merediths. Best regards, Lyn P.
