Biography
Richard Meredith was born ca. 1675 in Wales. He and
Anne Browne were married ca. 1700. He died in 1752, at age ~77, in Co. Kerry Ireland.
2 He is described in different sources as either the 2nd son or the 3rd son.
According to Burke’s Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland, Richard, having married a niece of Edward the 2nd Lord Herbert of Chirbury, was sent to manage the estates in Ireland, a fair proportion of which was settled on him. However, this is incorrect, as Richard’s wife Anne Browne was a niece of Edward Herbert, 3rd Baron Herbert of Chirbury and of Castle Island (1630-1678), and therefore a granddaughter of the 2nd Lord Herbert.
A memorial of a deed of 1724 describes the sale of the estates in Ireland by Lord Herbert to William Browne, Anne’s father, in 1656. Anne inherited the estates as the sole heir of her father, which then came into the possession of Richard Meredith through their marriage. The deed also names three children, Richard, William and Anne, and the imminent marriage of his son Richard to Honora Fitzgerald.

Biography
Richard Meredith and

1,2 He died ca. 1769.
He lived at Rathnalogh, Co. Kerry.
His intended marriage to Frances Green was documented in a memorial dated 13 Nov 1753 held by the Registry of Deeds. So it seems likely that the date of marriage 6 Dec 1752 given in Burke's Landed Gentry should be 6 Dec 1753.
His Will dated 17 May 1771 was proved on 25 May 1785. It mentioned:
- wife Frances Meredith alias Greene
- daughters Margaret and Honora
- father in law George Greene Esq.
- brother in law Terence Monsell
- father in law’s nephew William Blood Esq.
