Parents

Father: Thomas Meredith (b. about 1702, d. 2 December 1761)

Biography

Birth: About 1738; Ireland

Marriage: 1759; Mary Hornby; Diocese of Ossory, Ferns & Leighlin

Death: July 1817; Queen's County, Ireland

Burial: 11 July 1817; St. Bridgid's, Rosenallis

Note: Lived at Reary Valley; probably the Rice Meredith listed in the Queen’s County Poll Books of 1760 and 1779.
There are two death records for Rice Meredith of Reary Valley that could refer to the Rice who was married to Mary Hornby: one dated 1801 (source: Betham abstracts) and the other a burial record for Rice buried 11 July 1817, age 79, at St. Brigid's Church, Rosenallis. Personally, I wonder if the will was written in 1801 but was for the Rice who died in 1817?? Seems unlikely, but. . .
