Person:John Meredith (14)

The census record suggests the possibility that John (b. 1779) is the father of John (b. 1799), and they seemed to be residing in the same county. The deed of 17 Feb 1804 to John Meradeth of the 37 acre Meredith farm to John Meradith cannot realistically be John (b. 1799), so must be John (b. 1779). As John (b. 1799 appeard to be the head of household at the farm, then John (b.1821) I have to believe the farm is passing from father to son through the years until after 1850. Thus John (b. 1779) is father of John (b. 1799).
