Meacham was born in 1847 and died as a result of a hunting accident in 1886 at the age of 39. His wife was from the New York area and was with him on PEI during the time he was collecting the substantial information for the 1880 Atlas of Prince Edward Island. During their time here their daughter was born - she passed away a few days short of her 100th birthday in USA. Meacham published at least five atlas in Canada - three counties in Ontario; Pictou County, NS; and Prince Edward Island.Carter W.
