        Widow at time of marriage.

        Devizes St. John Church
        Near this place lyeth the body of John Merewether M.B. Eminent for learning and goodness, diligent and charitable in his profession, excelling in every relation of life. Ob. May 18th 1724. An. Aetat. 69. Under him lyeth Francis his youngest son, Ob. July 25, 1716, An. Aetat. 22. Over her husband lieth Jane Merewether, his beloved wife. Ob. Jan 4th 1725, An.Aetat 69. Anna Merether. Obit 23 Sept. Anno Dom 1690.

        According to will of Henry Axford his son John's trustee is his Uncle Francis Merriwether. Brother of Eizabeth.
        Probably Elizabeth Merewether who mariied William Dorcester in 1711. Are her parents John and Jane Merewether of Devizes. \There youngest son Frances is buyried in Devizes in 1716 so must be someone else Henry is taking about in his 1728 will.

        Settlement before the marriage of Francis Merewether of Devizes and Hannah Leigh of London, concerning the Manor of Bulkington, Worths or Bulkington Farm and Week Farm

        There is a baptism of an Elizabeth Merewether in 1683 the daughter of John and Janeveret of Market Lavington.
      • Look for combination of births for an Elizabeth and Francis Merewether about 1690 where Francis is still alive in 1728??

        Order: Will of John Merewether of Devizes, Wiltshire 01 October 1724 PROB 11/600 (see if he mentions daughter Elizabeth Dorchester/Axford or grandchildren)
        See if there is a burial entry for Elizabeth which gives age.
