• Birth: About 1794; Canada West (Ontario)

• Note: Believed to be the father of Mankin and Belinda--not proven.
  http://www.tackaberrytimes.com/default.asp :
  The first acknowledged settler [in Limehouse, Ontario] was Adam Stull who reportedly obtained a deed from the Crown for Lot 22, Concession 6 (200 acres) in 1820. Another important settler was John Meredith who secured Lot 23, Concession 6, in 1822.
  The lovely area soon attracted more settlers and a community – in every sense of the word – was born. At that time the wee community we now know as Limehouse was named "Fountain Green" for its obvious compatibility with the area’s flora and fauna.
  In 1832, Meredith sold two acres of his property to the Trustees of the Presbyterian congregation to allow for a cemetery and a church. The church was eventually built in 1861; a joint venture of Presbyterians, Episcopalians and Methodists which became known as the Limehouse Union Church.
