There is a biographical article on him on pages 180-183 of that volume. Please see that reference for more details. He was born near London, England in 1826. At the age of 22 he came to the United States. He established his own nursery business and later he became the state botanist of Illinois. He wrote extensively and was very influential in the field of agriculture and horticulture. (See also wikipedia for more info on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Meehan
