After her husband's death, Margaret Fell married George Fox. William Meade died in 1713, and was not, as far as I can tell, rereading quickly, connected to Maryland. William and Sarah had one child, a son, Nathaniel (1684-1760) who was knighted.

I had hitherto thought that the only children of Sir Nathaniel were two, who died in infancy." -- Dan Treadway P. O.
