Notes for Davis Meredith , Sr.
took 3 wives . . . first two died early
145 . . . The Merediths are of Welsh descent. Davis Meredith was born in Wales, near the middle of the eighteenth century, and being a Sabbatarian, and being persecuted for his religious belief, he came to America in his young manhood, shortly before the Revolution, and settled in Connecticut. He took up arms in defence of his adopted country, being one of the patriots that helped throw off the British yoke.
He was married three times. His first wife, having lived only a brief time after the marriage, died childless. Nothing else is known of her history, but she probably crossed the sea with him. Shortly after the close of the Revolution, he went to Loudon county, Virginia, where he was again married, where two children were born of this union; viz., the late Mrs. Rebecca Nipton, of Marion county; and the late Neu Meredith, of Ohio. The mother died when these children were quite small, and Mr. Meredith removed from the "Old Dominion" to Marion county, where he married Miss Nancy Pritchard, sister of Thomas Pritchard, senior, and seven children were the result of this union: Rachel married James Arnett, Eleanor, William Arnett, and Martha, James Jones, all of Marion county; Thomas sleeps in Kansas; Davis, who was a lay minister of the M. E. church, at Centerville, in Tyler county; and Job and William have already been mentioned.
Came from Wales to CT before the Rev. War, migrated to VA, was an Enlisted Soldier of the Virginia Line
