THOMAS MEREDITH
CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE
Thomas Meredith came in 1855. He entered land now owned by William Trailor, John W. Berry and others, and pitched his tent in what is since known as Eight-Mile Grove. The family occupied a tent until Mr. Meredith completed the building of a house. An autobiographical sketch of Thomas Meredith, with a reminiscence of early settlement, appears in chapter 6, and any further note of him is unnecessary in this place.
