Richard Meredith1
M, #2735, b. 1739, d. 1821
Parents
| Father | William Meredith b. 1704, d. 1784 |
| Mother | Marian (Mary Anne) Fitzgerald |
Biography
Richard Meredith was born in 1739.2 He and Lucy Saunders were married on 1 Nov 1770.3,4 He died in 1821, at age ~82, in Dicksgrove, Co. KerryG.2
He lived at Dicksgrove, Co. Kerry.
The circumstances by which he succeeded to the Meredith estates in 1770, on the death of his cousin Richard Meredith are summarised in the report of a court case (Tralee Chronicle, 13 May 1853) as follows:
"COURT OF CHANCERY-MAY 10TH AND 11TH.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRALEE CHRONICLE,)
Homan v. Durant and others.
The bill in this case was filed against the co-heiresses of the late Arthur Lloyd Saunders, Esq., for recovery of a charge of £500 Irish on the lands of Annaghmore and Dysert, in the county of Kerry, under the following circumstances.
In the year 1738, Richard Meredith, of Dicksgrove, in the county of Kerry, Esq, being seized in fee of large estates,
leased to his second son, William Meredith, the lands of Annaghmore and Dysert, for three lives, renewable for ever. In the year 1768, said William Meredith conveyed the interest under this lease to his eldest son, another Richard Meredith, charged with £2,500 for his (William’s) younger children, of whom there were five. Frances Meredith, one of the younger children, married Robert Coote (through whom the plaintiff derived), and a sum of £500, portion of the charge for younger children created in 1768, was conveyed to Coote upon the occasion of said marriage; this charge subsequently became vested in the plaintiff, who was one of the children of Robert Coote and Frances Meredith. The senior branch of the Meredith family having become extinct in the male line previous to the year 1770, Richard Meredith, the son of the lessee in the lease of 1738, succeeded to the estates, and thus became entitled to the reversion of the lands comprised in the said lease of 1738, of which he was himself also owner, and in the year 1770, settled the fee and inheritance of the estates on his marriage with Miss Saunders. The said Richard Meredith had one son, the late William Meredith, of Dicksgrove, and by deed dated in 1795, said Richard Meredith conveyed the interest under the lease of 1738 in the lands of Annaghmore and Dysert to trustees for payment of certain debts, and, after the payment thereof, to the use of his son William. In hilary term, 1797, a fine and recovery was levied and suffered of said lands to the uses of said deed of 1795.
William Meredith having agreed to sell the said lands comprised in the lease of 1738 to John Saunders, Esq. (the father of the defendants), by indenture of the 21st June, 1797, said lands were duly conyeyed to Mr. Saunders, freed and discharged from all incumbrances, which were to have been paid off out of the purchase money, and by said deed the fee and inheritance of the Meredith estates were conveyed to trustees to indemnify the purchaser against all such demands.
The sum of £500 vested in plaintiff not having been paid off, the late William Meredith continued to pay interest thereon down to the year 1846, and also made a payment on account of the principal sum, which left on the 29th November, 1846, a sum of £422 17s. 6d. due to plaintiff as claimed.
Being unable to obtain any further payment, the bill in this cause was filed to raise the charge off the lands of Annaghmore and Dysert, as derived under the lease of 1738, being the primary security therefor.
The demand was contested upon two grounds;- 1st. The statute of limitations, no payments having been made on foot of the charge by the Saunders family, or by any person duly authorised on their behalf, for a period of 56 years. 2nd. That the present defendants, claiming under a settlement of 1801, on the marriage of John Saunders with Miss Lloyd, were purchasers without notice.
After hearing the case most ably argued by all the counsel engaged on both sides, the Chancellor decreed the plaintiff entitled to the relief sought to the extent of £399 10s. 6d. late currency, and directed the usual accounts.
The effect of this decision will be to remit the Saunders family to their remedy (if any) over against the Meredith estates, under the trusts of the deed of 1797.
Counsel for the plaintiff - The Right Hon. the Attorney-General, Mr. Sergeant Christian, and William Hickson, Esg.
Solicitors - Stokes and Creagh.
Counsel for defendants- Francis A. Fitzgerald, Q.C., and John Leahy. Esg. Solicitor-D. Leahy, Esq."
