    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.

    David married HOLMES Anne in 1713 in New Kent County, VA. Anne (daughter of HOLMES George, Esq.) was born on 19 Dec 1695 in King and Queen Court House, King and Queen, Virginia, USA; died on 11 Mar 1735 in Gwathmey, Hanover, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
