from the Chaumiere Papers - page 7 [1]

"Having relinquished his government, Sir Richard Everard and his lady and two daughters became the guests of my Grandfather Meade, he living convenient to Hampton Roads, where the ship lay in which they had taken their passage to England. From some cause or other, the ship was delayed longer than was expected, which delay proved favorable to my father's views, who had but little expectation of obtaining the parents' consent to his marriage with their daughter in Virginia, and he was preparing to accompany the family to England, when the earnest entreties of his father, who was distressed at the thought of being so long and so widely separated from his only son, prevailed upon the parents of my mother to consent to an immediate marriage. They, with the most entire confidence in his honor and affection, put their daughter under the protection of her enraptured lover. No pair ever enjoyed more happiness in the hymeneal state than they did. They were both of them very young when they came together, and with very little experience of mankind, brought up under eyes of fond and virtuous parents.

"My father was of handsome person and fine stature. He lived a monotonous and tranquil life."^[7]
