This famous Churchman was a great-grandson of Andrew Meade, an emigrant from Ireland early in the eighteenth century.  He was a native of County Kerry, the original home of the ancestors of the McCartys of Virginia.  He was a Catholic, but conformed to the established church after his settlement in the colonies.  Many references to him are found in Virginia colonial records.  He is described as "a man of education and influence, a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses, Judge of the Court and Senior Colonel of Militia," and is said to have been "a man of great physical strength."  He died in Nansemond County, Va., in 1745, "leaving behind him a stainless character and the title of "Andrew Meade, the Honest."  His son, David Meade, in 1729 or 1730 married, under romantic circumstances, a daughter of Sir Richard Everard, Governor of North Carolina.  ---(Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, by Dr. Lyon G.
