Notes
a. Note:   N200 Walker Gilmer Meriwether
 © The Meriwethers and their Connections, 1964
  Walker Gilmer Meriwether commenced life as a large tobacconist in Lynchburg with a partner, Louis Rodgers. They were tobacco brokers and warehousemen.
  In 1820, Walker Gilmer and his brother Dr. Fontaine Meriwether came to Missouri to live for a year on the large grant of land they had secured from the government. Their stay in Missouri Territory satisfied a condition to claim title to the large grant. In 1834 the final move was made to Missouri, and at this time their families came with them, along with their slaves, and various artisans and their families, who were responsible for seeing to the needs of a well ordered plantation. In the instance of Walker Gilmer Meriwether, this pattern continued until 1918, when the last of his holdings, 1800 acres, passed to someone not of the family.
  Walker Gilmer Meriwether first married his cousin, Betsey Meriwether. He married 2nd, Jane Warner Lewis, Nov. 28, 1822, and when the move to Missouri was completed they built "Aberdeen". For over eighty years this home was one of the focal points for gatherings of the clan and where many of the young members received their schooling in the early grades—along with a rigorous course in the amenities which was so much a pattern of their lives.
