American
David Meade is best remembered as the younger brother of Bishop William Meade. He was born in 1793 at Lucky Hill, the residence of their father, Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Kidder Meade, an aide-de-camp of General Washington during the Revolution. The younger Meade was educated at Princeton and graduated in the Class of 1812. Unfortunately, Meade did not live to see his plan brought to completion; he died in November 1837 at Ben Venue, his residence near White Post, where he had established a successful merchant trade. In addition to serving as a county justice, Meade was a member of the first school commission of the county and had also been nominated for High Sheriff. - NRHP
