About Elizabeth Browne

"Recall how after study of transcripts of the Surry Co. Tithable lists, 1668-1703, as opposed to incomplete, selected indexes (Connections, April 1993), we identified a close relationship between the Colonel William Browne family and the Meriwether household following Nicholas I's death. Accepting that his daughter, Jane, married Major William Browne (NHM, p.29), we then erroneously speculated she was the oldest child, only with new evidence to prove she married, instead, the younger, Captain William Browne (Connections, July 1993). It turns out we were on the right track, we just had the wrong Meriwether lady.

It was Elizabeth (Woodhouse?) Meriwether who married Lt. Col. William Browne. The Surry County Order Book, 1671-1691 (p.302), in an item recorded 6 Jul 1680, which states: "...Exit. Corpus. Edward Napkin conffesseth Judgmt. to Lt. Coll. Wm. Browne as marryeing ye. Executrix of Mr. Ni. Meriwether forÉ" Truthfully, I suppose we should have expected and looked for Elizabeth to remarry. Maybe some of you did and knew that, but I didn't. Her remarriage explains a lot we wondered about."
