NOTE: The dates on his gravestone, erected by the DAR many years after his burial, are questionable. He probably was born between 1734 and 1738. His wife Lucy (Meriwether) stated that he died in 14 Nov 1779 and she remarried in 1780. The existence of the 1780 inventory of his estate, tends to confirm the 1779 [death] date.

Notes:

Lucy Meriwether Lewis Marks
Lucy Meriwether was born at Cloverfields on February 4, 1752. She married William Lewis of Locust Hill; he died in 1779 and she married Captain John Marks six months later. Lucy Meriwether was well known in Albemarle County throughout her adult life. Besides being the mother of the famed explorer, she had medical skills and often rode throughout the county to treat the sick. Even into old-age, she thought nothing of riding several miles to go treat an ill acquaintance.
She is reported to have notable culinary and intellectual skills as well. She could not afford many books, but collected a small library throughout her life. In her will, she was careful to address the dispersion of the books among her offspring; appraisers valued the total collection at the modern equivalent of several hundred dollars.
With regards to her cooking, Thomas Jefferson reportedly remarked "Merriwether Lewis' mother made very nice hams-better than even Monticello could produce."
A male acquaintance once described her as having a perfect person and complimented her on having "activity beyond her sex." She even scared away a crowd of rowdy British soldiers during the time that she lived at Locust Hill, her husband's family's home, with a rifle. That rifle came in handy as well when a hunting party from Locust Hill failed to kill a deer. A deer however had been cornered onto the grounds of Locust Hill by the party hounds, and Mrs. Lewis-Marks shot it and turned it into a succulent dinner before the party even returned.
Lucy Meriwether Lewis Marks gave birth to Jane Meriwether Lewis, Meriwether Lewis, Lucinda Lewis (who died in childhood) and Reuben Lewis while married to William Lewis and John Marks and Mary Garland Marks while married to Captain John Marks. Both Reuben and John (II) grew up to become doctors, taking after their mother's medicinal abilities.
Lucy Meriwether Lewis Marks was widowed a second time in 1791. She returned to Albemarle for good, and Locust Hill became her property after Meriwether's mysterious death in 1809. She started the Locust Hill Graveyard in 1810, probably on the hopes that she could have Meriwether's body re-interred there from Tennessee, and because her son-in-law Edmund Anderson and a neighbor died that year and needed to be buried. She lived there until her death in 1837 with her widowed daughter Jane Lewis Anderson.

Colonel Robert Lewis married Jane Meriwether, the daughter of Nicholas Meriwether II and Elizabeth Crawford, and established a new estate at Belvoir. This was the first of 11 intermarriages between the Meriwether and Lewis families. Robert Lewis amassed a large amount of land in Goochland and Albemarle Counties throughout his life, which he later divided among his children. He acquired the land in Ivy Depot, VA in 1740. Locust Hill, the childhood home of Meriwether Lewis, was built on this land, and Meriwether's father was the first Lewis to inhabit it. (Meriwether, 1964)

Col Robert Lewis
Birth: May 4, 1702 Gloucester Co., VA
Death: Jan. 10, 1765 VA

Robert Lewis was the third son of Col. John Lewis and Elizabeth Warner. He was born at Warner Hall in Gloucester County, the family home of his mother. He married Jane Meriwether (1705-1757), the daughter of Nicholas Meriwether and Elizabeth Crafford. They had eleven children. Robert Lewis had land in Gloucester but he deeded that to his eldest son, John Lewis of "Halifax" and opted, along with his father-in-law, Nicholas Meriwether, to push out to unoccupied lands in the Piedmont area of Virginia. "Both took out grants for themselves of thousands of acres, being good judges of fertile, well watered selections." (Anderson, p. 62) In 1736, he obtained a grant for 4,000 acres on the Hardware River, and in 1740, he took a grant for 6,500 acres on Ivy Creek. Along with other grants, he accumulated a total of 21,660 acres, enabling him to bequeath land to all of his children. He also held an interest in 100,000 acres in Greenbrier County (now West Virginia). He built his home, "Belvoir," in the part of Louisa County that joined Albemarle County in 1761, apparently near the location of this cemetery. He served in the House of Burgesses 1744-1746 and was County Lieutenant for Louisa County. After his wife's death, Robert Lewis married Elizabeth Thornton in 1761, grandmother of Meriwether Lewis. Elizabeth's 1st husband Thomas was a son of Jane Meriwether's brother David.

Robert Lewis of "Belvoir" (1702 - 1765) & Jane Meriwether
Robert Lewis was the third son of Col. John Lewis and Elizabeth Warner. He was born at Warner Hall in Gloucester County, the family home of his mother. He married Jane Meriwether (1705-1745/55), the daughter of Nicholas Meriwether and Elizabeth Crawford. They had eleven children. Robert Lewis had land in Gloucester but he deeded that to his eldest son, John Lewis of "Halifax" and opted, along with his father-in-law, Nicholas Meriwether, to push out to unoccupied lands in the Piedmont area of Virginia. "Both took out grants for themselves of thousands of acres, being good judges of fertile, well watered selections." (Anderson, p. 62) In 1736, he obtained a grant for 4,000 acres on the Hardware River, and in 1740, he took a grant for 6,500 acres on Ivy Creek. Along with other grants, he accumulated a total of 21,660 acres, enabling him to bequeath land to all of his children. He also held an interest in 100,000 acres in Greenbrier County (now West Virginia). He built his home, "Belvoir," in the part of Louisa County that joined Albemarle County in 1761. He served in the House of Burgesses 1744-1746 and was County Lieutenant for Louisa County. Of their eleven children, two played key roles in Lucy Meriwether Lewis Marks' life:
William Lewis of "Locust Hill" was Lucy's first husband.
Nicholas Lewis, who inherited "The Farm" from his grandfather Nicholas Meriwether, married Lucy's first cousin, Mary Walker, daughter of Dr. Thomas Walker and Lucy's aunt, Mildred Thornton
Of the remaining nine children, six of them married other Lewises.
After his wife's death, Robert Lewis married Elizabeth Thornton, Lucy's mother, in 1761.

At the time he made his Will, he was living in Fredericksville Parish,Louisa County. In the document, he named sons John, Nicholas, Robert,Charles, and William; daughters Jane Meriwether, Mary Cobbs, MildredLewis, Sarah Lewis, Ann Lewis (wife of John Lewis), Children "nowliving" were named as John Lewis, Jane Meriwether, Aaron Lewis,Nicholas Lewis, Mary Cobbs, Mildred Lewis, Robert Lewis (infant),Charles Lewis, William Lewis, Sarah Lewis. A daughter ElizabethBarrett was referred to as deceased. The absence of his wife fromthis document indicates she was also already deceased.

Robert married MERIWETHER Jane in 1725 in Greenville, Augusta, Virginia, USA. Jane (daughter of Col MERIWETHER Nicholas, Jr. and CRAWFORD Elizabeth) was born about 1705 in Greensville County, Virginia; died before Sep 1757; was buried in Cismont, Albemarle County, VA ("Belvoir"). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
Jane died before Sep 1757 in Albemarle County, probably at "Belvoir." About 1758, Robert Lewis married Elizabeth (Thornton) Meriwether, widow of Jane's nephew, Thomas Meriwether. There were no children by this marriage and Robert died before December 1765, when his will was proved. (Robert was the paternal grandfather and Elizabeth was the maternal grandmother of Capt. Meriwether Lewis. The Meriwethers & Lewises of the day liked to keep family connections close.)

Notes:

I am looking over some of the documents I have on my ancestors, who served in the Revolutionary War, and took note of the signatures. For some reason they just jumped out at me, and I thought they would be of interest to the list.

The Document I have is from Ambrose Lewis, who is the brother of my direct ancestor Charles Lewis. Ambrose and Charles served in the Revolutionary War as Seamen and Foot Soldiers. The document I have is a certification that Ambrose Lewis, is entitled to the proportion of land allowed a Sailor of the State Navy for three years service, and it is signed (it looks like December, or September), 21st 1783. There are two signatures, one is Thomas Meriwether, and the other is Benjamin Harrison. I believe this is the Thomas Meriwether who married his cousin Jane Meriwether.

Benjamin Harrison was the governor of Virginia at that time. Ambrose Lewis went to Washington DC after his pension was suspended. It was there that he petitioned the senate to have his military service at the Battle of Camden SC added to the record. He finally won, but his land bounty certificate was used by his heirs.

This short document has quite a bit of historical information on it.

Col. David Meriwether married Ann Holmes and had a son, Thomas. This Thomas Meriwether married Elizabeth Thornton, and had 11 children, including Lucy Meriwether , the mother of Meriwether Lewis. Ann also gave birth to Colonel Nicholas Meriwether (the first Meriwether to live at Cloverfields with his wife, Margaret Douglas) (Anderson, 1984) , Francis, David, Mary, Elizabeth, Sarah, Ann, Mildred, Thomas, and Jane. You will notice by now that the Meriwether family tended to recycle the same name every generation, and occasionally more than once a generation. This has become very confusing to genealogists. Many have confused which Nicholas married who, and who exactly was Meriwether Lewis' grandfather. This presentation streamlines the family to list those who directly pertain to the explorers to clarify the connections.

Historical Background The first plantation house was built by Nicholas Meriwether about 1735 where he died in 1744. Sometime before the Revolutionary War, the house burned and Col. Nicholas Lewis, grandson and heir of Meriwether, built a second main house which has since disappeared. Colonel Nicholas Lewis (1728-1807) (uncle of the famous explorer Meriwether Lewis) was a surveyor who served in several public roles including sheriff, surveyor and magistrate.[4] The 1782 tax records indicate he owned 33 slaves, 80 cattle and 17 horses.[5] His neighbor and friend Thomas Jefferson paid tribute to him in his writings for bravery in fighting the Cherokee Indians in 1776:[6]

Residence:
Cloverfields Plantation: The Cloverfields plantation, which the Meriwether family first acquired as part of the 3,000 acre grant to Nicholas Meriwether II in 1729. No one called it"cloverfields"until at least 1760, when Nicholas Meriwether II and his wife, Margaret Douglas built the first dwelling on the property. At the present time, there are several buildings in which people live. The original chimney from the kitchen still stands on the property, as well as the original smokehouse. The other buildings have been updated and/or rebuilt since the Meriwether's lived there. One of the buildings was added to the property in order to keep it from being destroyed. Developers were building on the land where the building originally stood. The graveyard is, of course, also in its original spot and condition. Edward C. Mead wrote in 1899"Here sleep undisturbed on their native ground those noble men and women who lived in the exciting times of the Revolution and saw the wild country emerge into a'new nation.'"Many of the people who lived at the plantation were originally buried in the family plot, but have since been moved to Grace Church in Cismont. Many people interred in the graveyard lie in unmarked tombs. The most well-known burial there is William Lewis, Meriwether's father. While on leave from the Continental Army to visit his wife and children at Locust Hill, he crossed the Rivanna River in a flood. His horse drowned and he caught pneumonia. Cloverfields, his wife Lucy's childhood home was much closer, so he went there to recouperate. Instead, he died there, and his body was never moved. Cloverfields is still a private property owned by the descendants of the Meriwether family."Cloverfields Cemetery."Write-up by Douglas Valentine. April 1998 and Barnes, Sara Lee.

Source: http://www.vcdh.virginia.edu/encounter/projects/homesteads/map/farm.html The farm was the 1020 acre plantation of Colonel Nicholas Meriweather, a contemporary of Thomas Jefferson's father, where he build his home in 1735. This stretch of land lies in the river flats between Moore's Creek and Meadow Creek. Its simple name comes from it being the earliest cleared loaction West of the Rivanna River and as such became a conspicuous landmark in the area. It was on this site with a view of Monticello that Nicholas Meriweather lived the rest of his life and was buried nearby. His grandson Colonel Nicholas LEWIS, a Revolutionary Officer uinherited the property.

Residence:
The Farm: Col. Nicholas Meriwether II amassed a large quantity of land, at one point owning about 33,000 acres. In 1735 he built his plantation, [which became] "The Farm", in Goochland (now Albemarle) County, the site of which is now the city of Charlottesville, Virginia. His will, one of the longest recorded in Virginia, was witnessed by Peter Jefferson, father of Thomas Jefferson.

Cemetery notes and/or description:
THE OLD FAMILY GRAVEYARD, A DISGRACE TO ALL THE DESCENDANTS

Following the county road already described, starting at Charlottesville and as soon as you cross the Country Bridge over the Rivanna River, you are upon the plantation left by the will of Nicholas (2) "to my grandson Nicholas Lewis the son of Mr. Robt. Lewis, my plantation and land whereon I now live, containing by Patent One Thousand and Twenty acres, together with One Hundred and nineteen acres part of a greater tract bought of Thomas Graves…"

The county road begins to climb the side of the mountain as soon as it leaves the bridge. Off to the left a short distance, and facing the river, is the present Mansion, but upon the right of the road and facing more towards "Monticello", and the bend of the river, stood the old home of Nicholas (2) Meriwether and wife Elizabeth (Crafford). This was the house in which he died, and it was a beautiful site for a home. On the same first ridge of the mountain, but about 150 yards to the right of the present county road, and perhaps 200 yards from the bridge, was the old Meriwether family graveyard in which were buried Nicholas, Col. David, and many of the family.

At the time of the writer's visit the entire field where stood the old house and where is located the old graveyard, was planted in corn. Not even a mound marks a grave, and it seems to him a disgrace to every descendant of the family. Cannot this be rectified? The cost would be very small divided among so many

Nicholas married CRAWFORD Elizabeth on 26 Oct 1665 in New Kent County, VA (Saint Peter's Parish). Elizabeth (daughter of CRAWFORD David, Esq. and CRAWFORD Jane --?--) was born about 1672 in New Kent County, VA ("Assasquin"); died before 11 May 1762 in Greenville, Augusta, Virginia, USA; was buried in Greenville, Augusta, Virginia, USA.
