General Notes: Husband - John Meredith




He became a Quaker in 1753 through his wife's influence, together with most of their children.



General Notes: Wife - Grace Williams




She is said to have had dark eyes, an interesting countenance, quiet, dignified manners, and much force of character. Her father-in-law, a cavalier, would never use the language of Friends to any but her, for whom he showed that deference.
