Biography notes for Anne Holmes
Anne (Holmes) Meriwether
© The Meriwether Society, Inc.
Meriwether genealogies claim Anne is a daughter of George Holmes of King and Queen County, Virginia. However, no historical evidence to support this has been documented. Very little information has come down through legal and land records, and parish records are not available for the years 1700-1730 from King and Queen County. Records in the courts and House of Burgesses do not give any data concerning her father. Some legal and tithable records list a few Holmes (or Hoomes) but without any data that would permit a link with Anne. There are multiple references to George and his life, but none reference a daughter named Anne or any Meriwether grandchildren.
None of David and Anne’s eight children have any of the Holmes names, either “George” or Holmes as a middle name, such as will appear in succeeding generations, when the maiden names of wives are carried forward in the children’s names.
