Notes
a. Note:   N567 John Merywether
 © The Meriwether Society
  John Merywether was born about 1599, probably in Oxfordshire, the son of Richard Merywether and his wife, name unknown. John attended Winchester College as a Scholar from 1611 until 1618, when he became a Fellow of New College from1618 until 1629). In 1629 he was appointed Rector for the Church of England in the parish of Stratton St. Michael in Norfolk, England.
  In 1630 John married Joane Browne, daughter of Nicholas Browne and Fayth Cobb, in the Bawdeswell Church, Hundred of Eynsford, Norfolk. They had six children: Nicholas, John, Anne, Fayth, Joane and Francis. Nicholas and Francis are known to have immigrated to the Virginia Colony. Nothing else is known about the remaining children.
  By 1639 John was in debtor's prison in London. He was home on parole in 1640 but is found in the Fleet Prison again in 1646. He evidently lost his Rector's position sometime before 1642.
  Notes concerning the parish Stratton St. Michael indicate that he died sometime before 1660 on a ship while sailing to Virginia to join his son, presumably Nicholas.
