Individual Details

Named as son in Will of his father.

Extracts from "Hening's Statutes" as reprinted in the Crawford book, state that David Crafford did by deed, dated 22 Apr 1693, give to William Meriwether, his grandson, 400 acres of the plantation whereon he then lived known by the name of Assassquin. This would also seem to indicate David Crawford lived longer than the 1689. On 9 Sep 1744, William Meriwether was successful in docking dock the entail that had been placed on this land as he had laid off 40 acres for the town of Newcastle and sold half-acre lots.

The St. Paul Vestry Book entry of 15 Oct 1751, named a new Vestry man in place of Colo. Wm. Meriwether Deceased.
