It now also seems evident Nicholas I disposed of his Surry County lands to his underage sons in some manner. We know his wife, Elizabeth, was the administratix [NHM, p.63]. Does a will exist? Certainly Heath would have published it had he found it. He cites the source where it should be found. Nonetheless, we can see the disposition of Nicholas I's Surry Co. lands to his sons. Heath reports Francis sold the Island house in 1695 [NHM, pp. 32-36] which Nicholas I had repatented 6 Nov 1661. We know Thomas owned the 1280 acres he willed to his nephew William (above). Now we find that on 9 May 1693, Nicholas Meriwether [II] of New Kent County, Gent., sold to his brother-in-law Francis Clements of Surry County the 651 acres called Indian Spring [Hopkins, p.39]. As part of that action Elizabeth (Crafford) relinquished her right of dower and signed her "X." David Crafford, apparently her father, was one of the witnesses. Indian Spring, patented by Nicholas I on 25 Apr 1667, stayed in Meriwether hands a little longer. Nicholas II's sister Elizabeth married Francis Clements.
