Meade Connection to Everard Meade Estate History
Local history traces the Everard Meade line from Philip Grymes Randolph owning part of the Millwood Mill property via inheritance from Col. Nathaniel Burwell. Through exchanges and sales from 1829 to 1926 the land changes hands, ending with the River House sale to George C. Meade in 1926 and later divisions among Bowles and Nichols. A side note lists a cut-rate store ad and a flower shop notice with a county board meeting on February 3 1950.
