  Thomas Meriwether was born about 1713, the first child of David Meriwether and Anne Holmes. He was a large landowner and prominent in local politics in Virginia, being one of the Justices of Louisa County, and numbered among his friends Peter Jefferson, father of Thomas Jefferson; Col. Robert Lewis who married Jane Meriwether; and Dr. Thomas Walker, who married his cousin Nicholas Meriwether's widow, Mildred (Thornton) Meriwether, and who was also the sister of his wife Elizabeth Thornton.
  His holdings in Virginia were due almost entirely to the bequest of his grandfather Nicholas Meriwether II.
  About 1735, Thomas married Elizabeth Thornton, daughter of Col. Francis Thornton and Mary Taliaferro. They had 11 known children: Nicholas, Francis, David, Mary Elizabeth, Sarah, Anne, Lucy, Mildred, Thomas and Jane.
  Through his daughter Lucy, Thomas was the grandfather of Capt. Meriwether Lewis, co-leader of the Corp of Discovery.
