Meredith, Thomas, was born in Pennsylvania, and was one of the efficient band of minister who studied with Rev. Dr. Staughton, in Philadelphia. He died at Raleigh, N. C. where for many years he had resided, editing the "Biblical Recorder," and taking a prominent and leading part in all enterprises adapted to the promotion of the interests of Christ's kingdom.
