William and Mary College Quarterly:
Meriwether Family. The pedigree of this family has formed the subject of three books. The first of these, entitled The Meriwether Family, was compiled by Miss Louisa H. A. Minor, but the matter was largely traditional. As the pioneer, however, she deserves much praise. Her book was published in 1892. Mr. Minor Meriwether, of St. Louis, Mo., followed in 1895 with an excellent work, entitled Lineage of the Meriwethers and Minors, giving many Bible data. In 1899 Mr. William Ridgeley (sic) Griffith, of Baltimore, Maryland, placed the pedigree on a distinctly historic foundation by the publication of his work, entitled The Record of Nicholas Meriwether, of Wales, and Descendants in Virginia and Maryland. This book represents the result of ten years' work in contemporary records, and is eminently satisfactory. Only forty copies were published. Among the additions made to the history of the family is the proof that Nicholas Meriwether, of New Kent, was not the immigrant, but his father, Nicholas Meriwether, born 1631, and clerk of Surry county in 1655. The emigrant’s wife, Elizabeth, may or may not have been the daughter of Thomas Woodhouse, who kept a tavern at Jamestown and appointed William May and Nicholas Meriwether his executors. Mr. Ridgeway (sic) has failed to establish the European connection of the family. But Nicholas Meriwether, the emigrant, was probably a brother of Thomas Meriwether, merchant of London, who is mentioned in the records of Isle of Wight county in 1678.
A Jane Meriwether’s will, dated 1604, can be found at Bristol, England.
The difficulty about the descent of the Daingerfield family (p. 40 of Mr. Griffith’s book), is solved by the simple fact that on the death of William Tomlin, Elizabeth Bathurst, his widow, married William Daingerfield. (See Quarterly VIII., p. 98)
The difficulty of the silver spoons (p. 129) is solved by the entry "Mary Sydenham, born March 22, 1719," being an after entry. She was really Mary Morton, wife of Jonathan Sydenham, and sister of Joseph Morton. (Quarterly V., p. 108; VI., 248-9.)
Joseph Morton married (1), Frances Colston; (2), Elizabeth Beckwith, daughter of Sir Marmaduke Beckwith.
