Biography
Arms of Richard Meredith, Bishop of Leighlin
Richard MEREDITH, Bishop of Leighlin, was born about 1550.2 He and Sarah BATHO were married before 1584.1 He died on 3 August 1597, at age ~47.1,4 He was buried on 7 August 1597 in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland.5
Richard Meredith entered Oxford University in 1568. He graduated BA on 4 March 1573 at Jesus College, Oxford, England, and graduated MA on 1 June 1575 from the same college.
He appears to have entered the Church as a member of St. David's Cathedral Clergy the same year he entered Oxford University, as he is recorded as a Prebendary at Clydey, Pembrokeshire, Wales in 1568. Perhaps it is no coincidence that the Bishop of St. David's was Richard Davies, his father's 1st cousin. The Bishop may have played a part in Richard Meredith's upbringing following his father's death in 1557, when Richard was about 7 years old. Subsequently, he is recorded as having had the following appointments:
~ Rector (with cure of souls) in 1573 at Rhoscrowther, Pembrokeshire, Wales.
~ Prebendary in 1574 at Brecon, Powys, Wales.
~ Prebendary in 1575 at Lledrod, Brecon, Powys, Wales.
~ Prebendary, Brecon collegiate church and rector, Barton in Pembrokeshire in 1578.
~ Rector (with cure of souls) in 1578 at Burton, Pembrokeshire, Wales.
~ Vicar in 1579 at Llanafan Fawr, Brecknockshire, Wales.
~ Prebendary in 1580 at Carrog, Denbighshire, Wales.
~ Sinecure Rector in 1580 at Angle, Pembrokeshire, Wales.
~ Cursal Prebendary in 1580 at St. David's, Pembrokeshire, Wales.
He was appointed Chaplain to the lord deputy of Ireland, Sir John Perrot in 1584, and moved to Dublin where he was appointed Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral in June 1584 that year. He was described in July 1588 as being noted for 'diligent preaching' and keeping 'a good house to the relief of many people which likeness was not done this 30 years by his predecessors' in July 1588. He was appointed Bishop of Leighlin in April 1589. He appeared before the Star Chamber in May 1592 and was fined £2000. He was described as being in poor health and 'not like to live' in 1593. He appeared before Dublin court of castle chamber in January 1593/94, and was fined £20 with a sentence of eight days in prison. He left a will dated 28 July 1597; £100 to Dublin corporation; allowance to poor; £800 due to estate from Archbishop Loftus and sons & bequeathed to his daughters provided they remained chaste until marriage, estate in Pembrokeshire to youngest son. He died on 3 August 1597. He was buried on 7 August 1597 at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland. His will was proven in 1606 at St Asaph's Consistory Court.

Sarah BATHO1
F, #2, b. before 1567, d. 1 August 1650
Biography
Sarah BATHO was born before 1567. She and Richard MEREDITH, Bishop of Leighlin, were married before 1584.1 She and Sir Adam LOFTUS were married in 1597. She died on 1 August 1650 in Middleham, Yorkshire, England.2
Sarah Batho’s brother became the steward to her first husband Richard Meredith. The Patent Rolls of James I (20th regnal year, 31 July) describe a grant to Robert Meredith of Dublin of the wardship of Luke Bath, son and heir of Robert Bath of Lea, Queen’s County, deceased. The Robert Meredith mentioned was presumably Sarah Batho’s son, and so Robert Bath and his son Luke are likely to have been related to her brother, the steward to Bishop Richard Meredith.
William Weston accused Sarah's 2nd husband Adam Loftus of having taken bribes during the years 1620 to 1623, when Weston said he gave Lady Loftus, among other things, “one suit of hangings of the value of £160, one dozen of silver plates with his lordship's arms thereupon [and] 32 ells [of] Polonie rich taffetie”.3

Biography

Sir Thomas Meredith was knighted in Ireland on 15 Jul 1630 by Viscount Loftus and the Earl of Cork, Lords Justices of Ireland. He was admitted to Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland as a Fellow Commoner in 1609, and to Lincoln's Inn on 14 Jul 1628. He was a Member of Parliament for Old Leighlin, Co. Carlow, Ireland in 1634. On 5 May 1645 he presented a petition to Irish House of Commons.
He owned property at Dromormona, Co. Tipperary, Ireland in 1634 and in Co. Mayo, Ireland before 1659. In 1635 Dean Benjamine Culme demised to Sir Thomas Meredith, Chancellor of the Exchequer [sic], for £50 per annum, the Lordship and Manor of Kilberry, Bert, Clony, Shrowlan, Kilcolman, Oldcourt, Tullaghgory, Preswellstown, Shanrahin, Tyrrelstown, Clonwanwyer, and Russelstown.

His will was dated 28 Dec 1676.
An incident in March 1643 is described by Clodagh Tait in "Death, Burial and Commemoration in Ireland, 1550-1650" in which: ‘Sir Thomas Meredith smashed the tomb of a Mr. Eustace at Castlemartin in County Kildare. His ensign, Edward Roe,later deposed that he did this because ?Mr. Eustace of Castlemartin had burnt the house of Sir Robert Meredith, who was brother to the said Sir Thomas and sayeth that the said Sir Thomas sayeth further that that he knows this [the destruction of the tomb] would vex the said Mr. Eustace more than anything else he could do unto him'. Meredith knew that Eustace would be vexed not only at the destruction of his property, but also at the insult to his family and tothe position that they held in society. Such destruction was usually far from indiscriminate."5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14
