Misc. Notes
William. At the Surry Co. Court on Mar 1694/5 Capt. Francis Clements and his wife Elizabeth and Nicho. were granted a commission of administration on the estate of Wm. Meriwether, Nicholas and Elizabeth being further described as his brother and sister (NHM, p.41 & Haun V, p.57-verified) [P2]. While the required inventory has not been preserved, the nature of the Governor Andros's proclamation on 21 Apr 1695 suggested a personal estate [P5]. Probably the most meaningful record stands mute. William never appeared on the Surry Co. tithable lists [P2}, showing he was less than age 16 in June 1694, the last tithable record before he died in early 1695. He would have been born after 17 Jun 1678, and possibly after his father died in Dec 1678 [P4].
