Dr. Meriwether Lewis Anderson (June 23, 1805 - March 5, 1862) was a prominent Virginia physician and politician.
Anderson was born at "Locust Hill" in Albemarle County, Virginia to Edmund Anderson and Jane Meriwether Lewis, the sister of Meriwether Lewis.[1] He graduated from the University of Virginia and went on to get a degree in medicine from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.[2] After qualifying as a physician he moved to Mississippi to begin his practice and take up farming. Anderson returned to Virginia in 1837 upon inheriting his maternal grandmother's estate and became a well known and respected physician of the Piedmont region.[3] His prominence in Albemarle county resulted in his election to the Virginia Legislature in 1861.[2] Anderson died several months after his election in 1862.[2]
Anderson married Lucy Sydnor Harper (1811–1885) in 1831; the daughter of Charles and Lucy Smither Harper.[2] The couple had five children including Meriwether Lewis Anderson, Jr who was killed at the Battle of Fisher's Hill in 1864.[2] The Andersons also adopted several nieces and nephews in addition to their own.
