Do you know of Meredith Hollow ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Meredith Hollow. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Meredith Hollow.<1>

Our sources for Meredith Hollow (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Meredith Hollow other than they indicate that Meredith Hollow would be found somewhere in Delaware County, New York.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1876 and closed  in 1894.
