Isaac Meredith Jr. 1806

Isaac Meredith Jr. was born in 1806. He died at 81 in West Whiteland Township, Pa. on February 28, 1887.

(There seem to have been several Isaac Merediths who died within a short time of each other all in the same general area, so linking up relatives gets very confused. I had originally had another Isaac Meredith, who was married to a Thomazin Pennock as Isaac Meredith, Jr., but decided this person seemed more logical due to the West Whiteland connection. I also think the Chester County Historical Society got the date wrong. There was an Isaac Meredith who died in 1883, but the days given in the death notice of that Isaac and this one, lead me to believe they were two different people and that this one died in 1887, not 1883. This lines up well with the homestead sale and death of Wilmot Meredith. LEM)

Near Sharpsburg, on the 21st ult.,of wounds received in the battle of Antietam, David Gardiser, son of the late Isaac Meredith, Sr., of West Whiteland, aged 21 years. His funeral will take place from the residence of his mother, October 21st, at 10 o'clock. VR. 10/21/1862. (Although the announcement says David was the "son of Isaac Meredith, Sr. late of West Whiteland", I have entered him as the son of Isaac Meredith, Jr. The ages and dates seem more logical this way and maybe the paper misprinted the grandfather as the father.
