William Meredith was referred to as "Captain" and served in the North Carolina Militia under Col. Martin Armstrong. Another officer and close friend was Captain Benjamin Cleveland. Both were in the Battle of King's Mountain in 1780. The Surry County, North Carolina records are full of references to William Meredith from 1771 until November 1805. He was a landowner and also served in various political offices, including justice of the peace, constable and coroner. According to a letter to Lyman Draper dated January 1, 1881, he was also a schoolteacher.
A letter from John Banner to Lyman C. Draper written December 1, 1880 from Mt.
