This is a part of the Nicholas Meriwether Grant of 17,652 acres in the Year 1730 
by George II and signed by William Gooch, then Governor of the Colony, the 
original of which is still preserved by the family.

“Clover Fields” was first settled by Col. Nicholas Meriwether III, who was noted 
for his bravery and decision in time of danger.  He was one of the four soldiers 
belonging to the Virginia Regiment who bore the wounded General Braddock from 
the field after his defeat near Pittsburg.

One of the most interesting spots at “Clover Field” is the old family burying 
ground in one corner of the garden.  Here can be read on the old tombstones most 
of the old Meriwethers, who have lived and died here.
