The brother of Richard Worsam Meade III was born Jan. 4, 1840, in New York and served as acting paymaster USN in 1862 and paymaster in 1863. His Civil War service was mostly on the USS New York from 1862 to 1864 and on the USS Mattabessett in the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. (The ship-of-the-line USS New York was burned in 1861 at Norfolk. Another Civil War era New York was never launched.)
After the war he was on the USS Juanita in the South Atlantic Squadron in 1867 and the USS Kearsarge in the South Pacific Squadron 1868-1869.
He resigned in 1872 and died April 12, 1897 and is buried next to his brother at Arlington National Cemetery. Both died within a month of each other.
