Even back in 1895, the date of that letter you found, their roots went deep--and also intertwined, from the looks of that Meriwether appearing in the genealogy as well.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-45145763734142591232015-12-17T22:34:59.429-08:002015-12-17T22:34:59.429-08:00I've noticed that, too, Wendy.

https://archive.org/stream/wil...The plot thickens!<br /><br />https://archive.org/stream/williammarycolle11tyle/williammarycolle11tyle_djvu.txt has a blurb about John Syme Hogue of Charleston WV explaining the Syme family tree.<br /><br />"A letter of Mr. John Syme Hogue, of Charleston, W. Va., September 24, 1895, states that Frances Cole Digges, the mother of his mother, married John Meriwether Syme, who was a son of Col. Nicholas Syme, of Newcastle, Hanover county, who was a son of Col. John Syme."
