Sadly, no. Squire and Clarissa were my great-grandmother's maternal grandparents,
which is taking it back aways, so to speak, and she lost both of her parents before the
age of six. So, no family stories to pass down. My grandmother remembers Grandma Meredith
quite well, but, apparently, noone thought it important to relay that kind of
information.
As to how Nathaniel, or Squire, ended up where they did, I believe it was because they had
family in the area. According to the 1830 census, several Meredith families lived in
Coshocton County. And our Merediths aren't the only ones in Greene County. Do you
know anything about a John Luff Meredith, born 1855 in Ohio, or his father, John T., born
1811 in Virginia?? I'm almost positive the entire Meredith population is related, but
unitl I found out who Nathaniel's parents were, it's hopeless.
I feel your pain. It is *so* maddening to be able to get thus far, and no further. Such
a horrible feeling of disconnectedness..... :)
