Children of Elizabeth Randolph, daughter of Richard Randolph and Jane, née Bolling, and Col. Richard Kidder Meade, aide to Gen'l Washington in the Revolutionary War. At the time Col. Meade entered the army he was living at Coggin's Point, King George County, Va. He sold his estate and distributed the pro- ceeds among his relations, retaining only three thousand dollars, which he placed in the care of a friend, to be invested as he thought best, for his use, should he survive the fortunes of war. It is not known through what grades Richard Meade passed, but in May, 1777. he was aide to Gen'l Washington, and one of his military family. which embraced besides Meade, Hamilton, Pinckney, and Laurens. Meade was a fine rider and he seemed to bear a charmed life. His black mare, a splendid animal, was almost as well known to the British Army as to the American troops. He used to say, "Hamilton helped Washington in his head work, while he did his riding and reconnoitering and carried his orders." Col. Meade was with Washington in all his great battles and superintended the execution of Maj. André. Of this execution he always spoke with great feeling, and although he entirely approved of the order, he was said to have wept when it was carried out.

VIRGINIA FAMILIES


MEADE FAMILY.


When the war closed and Gen'l Washington was taking leave of his aides, he said to Col. Meade, "Friend Dick, you must go on a Virginia plantation ; you will make a good farmer, and an honest foreman on the grand jury of your country." This advice was followed, and the prediction verified. Col. Meade's friend invested the three thousand dollars, left in his charge, in one thousand acres of land, in that part of Frederick County which is now Clarke County. It was then a wild region and considered the "back woods," by the tidewater people, but the investment proved so advantageous that Col. Meade called it "Lucky Hit."
