My second ggf was Richard MEYRICK, b. 1822-1824 in Wales, d. 7 Dec 1893 in Jellico, Campbell Co., TN. He probably came to the USA ca. 1849-1850. He married abt. 1852, probably in Schuylkill Co., PA, Margaret WILLIAMS, b. 23 Mar 1835 in Wales, d. 19 Jul 1871 in Schuylkill Co., PA, d/o Evan and Mary WILLIAMS.

Possibilities include:
(1) Richard MEYRICK, christened 11 Mar 1823 at Ewenny, Glamorgan, Wales as son of Rees & Lovic(sp?) MEYRICK. There was a marriage of a Rees MEYRICK to Lovic (sp?) PEADOW at Ewenny in 1820. The only Rees MEYRICK of the right age in the 1841 Glamorgan census was Rees MEYRICK, b. abt. 1797 in Glamorgan, d. 5 Jun 1856 in Margam, Neath District, Glamorgan. In 1841, Rees was married to wife, Catherine. There was a marriage of a Rees MEYRICK to Catherine MORGAN 20 Apr 1822 in Newcastle, Glamorgan. Catherine may have been Rees' second wife, and Lovic (sp?) may have died during or shortly after childbirth with Richard. Richard was not christened until 1823, so his christening may have been delayed, and his birth may have been in 1821. There is a possibly related individual, Thomas MEYRICK, b. abt. 1816 in Ewenny, Glamorgan, who married 1 Aug 1837 in Llantwit Fardre, Glamorgan, Hesther/Esther JONES. Thomas' first son was named Rees. My Richard's first son was named Thomas.

(2) Richard MEYRICK, b. 16 Aug 1825 and christened 10 Sep 1825 in Llanddarog, Carmarthen, Wales, son of James MEYRICK and Anne SAMUEL.

I am interested in any possible connections with other MEYRICK families
