MERIWETHER Nicholas, Sr., b. Abt 1631, Kent County, Great Britain  d. 19 Dec 1678, Jamestown, James City Cty, Virginia (Age ~ 47 years) |
| Marriage |
1661 |
Greenville, Augusta, Virginia, USA |
- Marriage 1 Spouse Unknown
Married: ABT 1661 in Virginia
Note: This marriage is speculative, based on several factors.
Note:
There is speculation, but no direct evidence, that Nicholas married twice and that his oldest child, Elizabeth, was the daughter of the first wife. This speculation is based on several indirect lines of evidence. First, we know that Nicholas, at the time of his death, was indeed married to an Elizabeth. She later remarried Col. William Browne and had a child, also named Elizabeth. This child was named by Henry Hartwell as "a niece of my wife...", along with all the other children of Nicholas except the first child, Elizabeth (Meriwether) Clough Clements. Henry Hartwell's wife was Jane (?) White Hartwell, who many early genealogies state was Jane Meriwether, sister to Nicholas. However, if she was sister to Nicholas, Elizabeth Browne, daughter of William Browne and Elizabeth (?) Meriwether Browne, would not be a niece! This strongly suggests that Elizabeth (?) Meriwether Browne and Jane (?) White Hartwell are sisters. It is assumed that Henry Hartwell would not mention Elizabeth (Meriwether) Clough Clements as a niece only because Elizabeth was the daughter of a previous marriage by Nicholas. Additional reasoning can be found in Meriwether Society publications.
