Arthur Francis MEREDITH was born after 1706.³ He and Mary WALLER were married in 1732.⁴

He lived at Dollardstown, Co. Meath, Ireland.
Note that there is some confusion in the sources as a result of two cousins Thomas Meredith (sons of Charles Meredith of Newtown and Arthur Meredith of Dollardstown, brothers) each marrying a Catherine and naming a son, Arthur. For example, the History of the Irish Parliament identifies the parents of Arthur Francis as Thomas and Catherine Baldwin.¹
