Notes

book titled: "My Wife's Family" by Noah H. Bradley of Powhatan Co., VA. On page 308 of this book there is some information on the Family of Nicholas Meriwether. Apparently Nicholas was born in 1631 in Wales and he married Elizabeth Woodhouse, the daughter of Captain Henry Woodhouse.

Records of Surry Co., VA. show that Nicholas was the Clerk of Surry Co., on April 22, 1655. He also was the Clerk of the Virginia Council. Nicholas and Elizabeth Woodhouse Meriwether had a family of 6 children, 4 sons and 2 daughters. Their 4th child was Francis Meriwether who married 1st Mary Bathurst, daughter of Lancelot Bathurst of Gloucester, England and his 2nd wife Susan Rich. Hope that this is of some help to you.
