    • Dr. Meriwether Lewis Anderson
      Dr. Meriwether Lewis Anderson (1805-1862) studied Medicine at the University of Virginia, but graduated medical school from the University of Pennsylvania. He and Lucy Sydnor Harper married on June 16, 1831 and resided in Mississippi for a short while until returning to Locust Hill. They were childless for several years, during which time the couple served as adoptive parents for several orphaned children. Eventually, the couple parented three children: Meriwether L.(II), Charles Harper, and Mary Miller.
      Dr. Lewis was also a mason, and his wife awarded the degree allowed to the wives of Masons. [1]
