In the Scran ton Republican under
date of May 9th, a communication
from Mrs. Graham is found relating
to the Meredith family giving rea
sons for a commemorative •
nition. recog-
Having in »•*
had occs®' .'tstorical researches
. ..on togo over my father's
. ..pers I have been able to glean
some important facts in addition to
those furnished by Mrs. Graham will
briefly attempt from memory to give
added facts of interest, Reese Mer
edith the father of General Samuel
Meredith was a prosperous merchant
in Philadelphia, long before the
Revolutionary war, and made invest
ments iu land under the Penn title,
which were located within the pres
ent boundry of this county. Saml.
was born in 1741 and on arriving to
the age of manhood, is found among
the Philadelphia merchants who in
1765 opposed the importation of teas
and other goods that were stamped.
In 1772 he married a daughter of
Dr. Thomno Cadwalader, this will in
some measure account for the very
large number of land warrants taken
out in the name of Cadwalader.
Shortly before the Revolutionary
war Mr. Meredith made large in
vestments in lands in different parts
of the Commonwealth. When the
government was dependent upon
the contribution of its friends for
support, Mr. Merideth and his broth
er-in-law, George Clymer, each
contributed $25,000.
During the war Mr. Merideth join
ed the arm}-, first taking rank as
Major, in which capacity he distin
guished himself in the battles of
Trenton and Princeton, and in Oct.
1777 was commissioned as General
of the fourth brigade of the Penn
sylvania militia. George Clymer
becoming at the time equally prom
inent as a member of Congress and
one of the signers of the declaration
of independence.
At the close of the war and at a
time that the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania was in great danger of
losing her possesssions from the
claiment under the Connecticut title,
Messrs. Meredith & Clymer were
among those who gave large finan
cial aid to Pennsylvania by the
purchase of large tracts of land with,
in the disputed territory. In 1789
Gen. Meredith received the appoint
ment of Treasurer of the U. S. The
followiug letter is under date of
Sept. 13, 1789:
"DEAR Slß —Permit me to con
gratulate you on your appointment
as Treasurer of the United States,
and to assure you of the pleasure I
feel in anticipating your cooperation
with me in a station in which a
character like yours is truly valuable.
With sincere esteem I am, sir,
Your obedient servant,
ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
Secretary of the Treasury."
Gen. Merideth continued in the
discharge of the duties of this office
for a period of 12 years when he re>
tired on account of ill health, and to
give personal attention to his large
land interests; in consequence of
■which the perplexing questions con
nected with land titles, required his
most careful attention.
His only son, Thomas, was born
in 1779 had received a good business
education and was well fitted to aid 1
his father, having obtained both a '
practical and theoretical knowledge ,
of surveying. In 1804 he accom
panied his father to Wilkesßarre, he I
there became better acquainted with
his father's Interests nnd tbo Jolnl
property of Meredith to Clymer.
These landß were in detached bodies
extending nil tlio way from the DJ
; aware river to the East Brunch of
the Susquehanna. From this date
, for many years both Gen. Meredith
and George Clymer relied upon
Thos. Meredith for the care and
management of this vast property.
At this lime there existed
obsticles only known by those who
have become informed of the local
history of Northern Pennsylvania.
Litigations arising from conflicting
titles, efforts to prevent re-surveys
and depradations made by timber
thieves were among the things
brought to the attention on the
perusal of his papers. The want of
roads prevented the opening of these
lands to desirable settlers. To over
come this difficulty Mr. Merideth
gave careful attention in his work as
surveyor (o the position of streams
and mountain passes, to determine
the most favorable locations. In
this capacity he became the pioneer
worker in bringing before tbo public
the possibilities and importance of
such enterprises. Two of the im
portant Turnpike Companies were
organized and largely built under
his supervision, that are known as
the North and South, Belmont and
Oquaqua, besides giving efficient
aid to several others. The opening
of the turnpike roads gave the first
impetus to successful settlement
that proved a benefit to the laud
holders. Mr. Meredith having locat
ed at Belmont, in Way tie county,
and the interests of the landed »•
• oil 8—
mess required the
. .. .uon of a man
in \\ llkeH „ Tr
_.arre, Mr. Henry Clymer
ae father of Wtu. 8., Thom-»s W.
and Mrs. Ed waul Overton went
there to reside and jointly with Mr-
Meredith for a few years to look
after the interests of the Meredith &
Clymer lands; among those appoint
ed as local agents were, Bartholamew
Laporte, father of John Laporte, in
Bradford count}' and Wm. Ward,
father of Christopher L. Ward, in
Susquehanna county.
In 1828 a commencement was
made in operating the extensive
coal fields of Lackawanua Valley at
Carbondale. Mr. Merideth at that
time made a personal investment of
the property below the opening and
soon after changed his residence to
that place, lie then commenced
the undertaking of securing a rail
road charter which he subsequently
obtained, known as the Lackawanna
railroad. At this time he had in
his employ as clerk Christopher
L. Ward who wishing to engage in
other business, but with the desire
of promoting the interests of his
employer, recommended Seckti
Meylert as a man well tit ted to take
his place, and in .May 1830 Mr. Mey
lert engaged in his service, residing
with him foi three years, when the
landed estates were separated be
tween the heirs of Samuel Meredith
George Clymer Wm. B. Clymer,
John Iteed and i'hilomen Dicken
son, representing the divided inter
ests and Mr. Meylert acting as their
agent. As this required for a num>
her of years the joint labor of Mr.
Merideth aud Mr. Meylert., their in
tercourse was kept up and their
correspondence furnishes one of the
most fruitful sources relating to the
progress of public improvements in
North Eastern Pennsylvania.
Mr. Meredith like many others
who have labored for the welfare of
those who were to reap in the future,
gave 100 little thought to his pres
ent needs and as a consequence
when undertakings for want of
financial help had to be deferred,
v/as for many years compelled to
suffer the reverses of fortune, but
alter the expiration of over twenty
years improvements in the Lacka
wanna Valley has so far progressed
that he began to believe fortune's
favor would again return to him and
about 1854 old friends who felt a
deepinteiest in liis welfare again be
gan to rally around him; among
those most prominent, are found his
nephew John Merideth lteed, Chris
topher LA. Ward, Win. B. Clymor
and Michael Meylert; adjaceut to a
part of the Merideth coal field was
the Seymour lands under the care of
Hon. Wm. Jessup. A company
was organized and a railroad con
structed, connecting with the D. L.
& W., at Dunmore, and with the
coal mines opened, all moved hope
ful for One or two years, when the
pressure felt so severely in the Penn
sylvania coal fields came upon them
and Mr. Meredith and friends were
compelled to suffer very heavy losses.
The writer here will be excused for
alluding to the losses of Michael
Meylert, by which he was compell
ed to sell and mortgage nearly all of
his Sullivan county property. The
tannery and adjacent lands passing
into the possession of Gillispie &
Pierce Co., Clarkson & JVicol and
other lands to Samuel Stevenson,
and Dexter Conklin and John Brown
and others. But to resume as to the
reason why the Meredith family are
well deserving a commemorative
recognition, they were emiuently
patriotic, relied upon by Washing
ton in the years when the nation was
in the greatest need of help, gener*
ously aiding the Commonwealth
when its credit was the lowest.
By all means let the new county
be named Meredith. I

Farmers and Horsemen.
A revival in the price of heavy
tlraft horses has already commenced.
The great falling off in the breeding
which has taken place during the
past two years is going to make
them scarce and in active demand
by the time that business shall have
fully recovered from the late depres
sion. In view of these facts it is
therefore a good time to commence
the breeding of the above mentioned
class of horses.
