I don't know if it will answer all of your questions, but there is a wonderful article in this month's issue of Lynch's Ferry (the Official Publication of the Lynchburg Historical Foundation) written by Joe Stinnett called, New Glasgow: The Rise and Fall of an Antebellum Virginia Village. It has a lot of information on Samuel Meredith and his Family. As a matter of fact, the whole Magazine is about New Glasgow / Clifford in Amherst County. It even mentions my Stinnett Family in a few places. I have really enjoyed it!! Check out their web site at: LynchsFerry.com I hope this helps! Laurie Goodman Lenz **************One site has it all.

His second wife was Jane Henry (sister of Patrick Henry.) Our hope is to learn the name of his first wife. Also, we would like to identify the children of the first wife and those Samuel had with his second wife, Jane. We *think* he and his first wife had children William and Mary (Mary would marry William May) With Jane we believe he had Sarah Meredith, Jane Henry Meredith, and Samuel Meredith III. We'd appreciate any direction or leads on this!!! Mike Meredith mbnn@msn.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

[I'm not related to this family, but thought it might help someone] FARMINGTON TIMES, Farmington, St. Francois County, Missouri, Friday, December 23, 1904 DEATH OF CAPT. RICHESON OF POTOSI Capt. Samuel Richeson, father of Mrs. Philip S. Cole of this place, died at his home in Potosi December 15th, 1904, in the 75th year of his age. Capt. Richeson was born in Amhurst county, Va., where he was married December 8th, 1853, to Miss Leanna E. Milner. To them thirteen children were born, eight of whom are living. Mrs. Richeson died in March, 1903. Captain Richeson was captain of a home guard company during the civil war and looked after supplies for the Confederate army. After the war, in 1869, he removed with his family to Missouri, locating near Potosi, Washington county, where he made his home up to the time of his death. He was a member of the Baptist Church, but several years before his death united himself with the Presbyterian Church, there being no Baptist Church at Potosi. He engaged in farming and mining all his life, and was successful in all his business affairs. He was a man of genuine worth and character and one of the most prominent and best known citizens of Washington county. His surviving children have the sympathy of a host of friends in this and Washington counties in their sorrowful bereavement.

The Dr. John Thompson Chapter # 466, United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) was originally chartered in Amherst County, VA on 13 May 1901. The Charter Members were: Mrs. Carrie Pettyjohn Miss Enis (?) Randolph Miss Kate Randolph Mrs. H. E. Joyner Mrs. T. L. Allen Miss Mary G. Allen Miss Eliza M. Payne Mrs. John M. Payne Mrs. Otto Lewis Eraus Mrs. F. F. Voorheis Miss Margaret P. Voorheis Mrs. Arthur Gray Lucile Garland Strode Edith Garland Strode Mrs. C. L. Scott Miss Zell Davies Miss Emmie (?) Davies I am reading from original signatures on the original Charter, so the spelling may not be correct. I have transcribed the names to the best of my ability. Among the many wonderful projects these Ladies took part in; they marked Confederate Soldiers graves with Government Markers & Iron Crosses to signify their service in the War Between the States (WBTS), and in 1922 they installed the Confederate monument in front of the old Court House in Amherst. The monument reads, "To memory of the sons of Amherst County who from 1861 to 1865 upheld in arms the cause of Virginia and the South, who fell in battle or died from wounds, and survivors from the war who as long as they lived were ever proud that they had done their part in the noble cause. " Unfortunately, this Chapter disbanded on the 08 Sep 1928. On 10 Oct 2008, Brenda Beeton & I received official permission to try and re-charter the Dr. John Thompson Chapter # 466, UDC. Ann King will be joining us in our effort. In order for us to receive the Charter, we must find 7 new Members to document their Confederate lineage and join our honorable organization. Please help us bring the UDC back to Amherst County. If you are interested in becoming a Member of this prospective Amherst County UDC Chapter or if you have any questions, please contact me. Anyone who can fulfill the Membership requirements before we submit our completed Application for Charter, will be know as a Charter Member and your name will go down in History, just as the Ladies names mentioned above have. I also have some questions that I am hoping the List can help me with... Does anyone have any information on Dr. John Thompson of Amherst County? It was the usual practice to name the UDC Chapters after prominent local personalities who fought for the Confederacy in the WBTS. It was also common for Family Members to join together and form a Chapter in the Memory of a Family Member who served honorably in the WBTS. Contact me if you can shed any light on the identity of Dr. John Thompson, and especially if you can provide a photograph. I am also very interested in information on the original Charter Members. If you can share any information on or photos of these ladies, please contact me. If you are a Descendant of one of these Ladies, I hope that you will carry on the tradition and consider joining our UDC Chapter. Thank you for taking the time to read such a long posting.
