I n givin g the Meriwether family this record of h I h w rk t eir ancestors , wis to say, it is not all my o . K Some two years ago , two ladies of Louisville, y. on e the h the M of the name , and ot er of eriwether — blood got together quite a record of the family, was and had it published in book form , but it only a d intended for private distribution , n the number of I “ copies issued were limited. was among the favored ” few; but it was not as complete as I wished ; my

own branch being but sparsely represented . So , with n the I the co sent of two ladies mentioned , deter S mined ou a second edition . o many of the connec tion are anxious for a copy and encourage me in m y undertaking. I de M r owe much to a family biography ma by . M George Wood eriwether of Louisville, who died in 1 86 that city in 4. H e was the Family Antiquary of his day, and preserved incidents and data of the

family, which would otherwise have been lost to the M generations to come. uch of this family history is of so I v a personal nature , ha e not the liberty to use

it , but have gathered many valuable items from it. ” who I owe To his daughter, owns the Biography,

many thanks. At this late day — over two hundred years the when the record begins, family have increased

to such large proportions , and are so widely scat tered h , t at it seems almost impossible to gather them

all together. But with all my care and patience ” “ I there are still some missing links, which have to I h h failed unite . leave t ese as a heritage to t ose ! h0 h who are yet to come , ping t ey may ﬁnd it an

easier task with the progress of the times . I have been much encouraged in my work by the interest shown by every member of the M eriwether A ll clan . my letters asking for Bible records, family

history , etc . , have been promptly responded to , and

I owe them many thanks. I hope that my meager effort will afford pleasure

to the antiquarian taste of the family now living , and Ma the generations yet to be born . y they ever remember that the name of Meriwether is a heritage

of honor, which is now their part to keep unsullied

in the years to come . L H N O ISA M I O . U . A . R E ! P L A N A T I O N .

h to . Superior ﬁgures, t us refer the generation No attempt has been made to trace the family back of “ h Nicholas , commonly known as the Wels man , so that his generation is and all others are num bered from him . The genealogical part of the book has been placed

ﬁrst, and divided into chapters, so that the families most nearly related will be grouped together in the h same c apter, as far as practicable . h . t e The notes (a) , (b) , etc , refer to biographical sketches . — — : . The abbreviations b born, d . died, m .

This family came to America from England about the middle of the present century. They spelt the ff name di erently, but in all probability belong to the M same stock as our eriwethers. A small drawing of of h their coat arms has been furnis ed me , and any one acquainted with heraldry can readily discern the our great similarity. I n fact, it is almost certain that American family have changed the spelling of the name from M erryweather ” to M eriwether for the purpose of shortening it as much as possible . one f Economy is o the family traits.

’ M r n s. Lewis home was ever open to melti g ffl charity. To the poor and a icted, whenever heard or of found , she extended kindness and help . She m was thought a good doctress and nurse , and any fﬂ al sick and a icted came to her for help, which was ways freely given , and in many cases she took them

own . into her home , and nursed them back to health M any of her old medicinal recipes are still pre too served among her descendants, and used with f good e fect.

During the Revolution , when the Saratoga prison ers were sent to Charlottesville (early in 1 779) for - n safe keepi g, she nursed and cared for many of them while there , feeling for them as fellow creatures, and for of forgetting, the time, they were the enemies her country. Family tradition says that among these prisoners f m n ot was a British o ﬁcer (his na e is preserved) , who f r W had been kindly cared o in sickness by her. hen convalescent and roaming over her place , he planted of a sapling the tulip tree, called in Virginia the for on to of est poplar, the p a hill overlooking the Ri M rs vanna, and requested .

tragic , melancholy death . bo for Even as a little y, he was noted the qualities

that afterward distinguished him .

then be taken . N 0 season or stress of weather could u prevent his indulging this pursuit . He would pl nge through the winter snows and frozen streams, and in this way early acquired that singular fortitude and that perfect familiarity with all the arts of frontier n life which he afterward put to such excelle t use. He also formed the habit of accurate observation of plants , animals and natural phenomena, which fitted him to perform the task for which he was destined. From thirteen to eighteen he attended a Latin school near his home , and then his father dying, he returned to m e assist his other in the care of the family estat , h w ich was considerable . “ ’ n ot A planter s life could content him . During the presidency of General Washington he entered - to the army , and at twenty three was promoted a M r . ff captaincy When . Je erson came to the presi denc 1 80 1 f y in , he selected this young o ficer as his r private secreta y. and Captain Lewis filled the post f r two o years. I n 1 803 it became necessary for the United States to of f enlarge the scope its Indian af airs, to establish posts further west, and to appoint more numerous t I ndian agents. In order o prepare the way for these to to measures, the President proposed Congress send an exploring party to trace the M issouri to its M to fi nd source, to cross the Rocky ountains, its way to to the Pacific, open communications with all the on to to tribes of I ndians their way, and endeavor a r concili te their good will .
