1004. Isaac Meader (1799 – 1899)

Isaac Meader, son of Moses Meader (1752-p.1840) [0040] and Jane Otis (b.1759), was born May 1, 1799 in Alton, NH and died in Haverhill, MA November 8, 1899, aged 100 years.

He and his son Ebenezer were in the real estate business together in Goshen, and at one time or another they owned nearly every place in town. They traded the real estate back and forth, as was the custom in Goshen at the time, to avoid paying taxes. Isaac finally settled down to living in the Ordway place (Jeschke). Possibly his wife inherited it. In 1864 he sold it to Joseph Perkins (probably the husband of his daughter Mehitable). At that time he gave $400 to Ebenezer to take care or him and his wife Hannah Thompson for the rest of his life. That part of Goshen was the Meader neighborhood.
