Biography
He was the son and heir of Edward Ameredeth (or Meredith) of Marston, Tamerton Foliot; the family was distantly related to Bishop Richard Meredith whose descendants were baronets in Ireland. He was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia on 2 June 1639 but never appears to have had seisin of any land in Nova Scotia. During the Civil War he was colonel of a troop of Horse and governor of Exmouth in the Royalist cause. An account show that he raised this troop at his own expense and served as lieutenant-colonel of a regiment until the end of the war.[1] On the Restoration he was made a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber to King Charles II.[1] He was Member of Parliament for Ballynakill from 1661 to 1666 and a commissioner of Customs and Excise in Ireland.Шаблон:Fact
