In doing some research on pears at the National Fruit Trials, Brogdale,
Faversham, Kent I came across the name Capt Meriwether and in the book by
Francesca Greenoak, The Forgotten Fruit it said,
Feb 19 1655 grafted one of the best pares Capt. Meriwether hath upon a tree
beside the house at south Barham; made a crosse upon it: it is to be eaten
in Feb.
South Barham is a farm just outside Barham in Kent South east of Canterbury.
This quote was written in a journal by Henry Osenden of Barham of Kentfrom
I believe Great Maydeken which is on the outskirts of Denton very close by.
Maybe these are the same family that lived at Shepherdswell since it not
very far as the crow flies from Barham, maybe five miles.

JOHN MEREWETHER, DEAN OF HEREFORD according to Rev E A Merryweather
He was the son of John M. of Blackland (? see above), Wilts., born at Marshfield, Gloucestershire, in 1797. His Father was a great grandson of Dr. Merewether of Devizes (who attended Bishop Ken in his last illness at Longleat under the roof of his friend Thomas, Viscount Weymouth. 19 March1710), whose daughter Jane mar'd William Hawkins, a grandson of Isaac Walton, and author of the short account of Ken's Life 1713. He was a distant cousin of Serjeant Henry Aldworth Merewether.
John matriculated from Queen's College, Cambridge, 18 Oct. 1814,graduated B.A. 1818, B.D. in 1832. He was ordained Priest in 1820 by the Bishop of Sarum, and served curacies at Gillingham, Dorset, and Hampton, Middlesex. While at Hampton he was instrumental in building a Chapel of Ease at Hampton Wick, and attracted the favorable notice of the Duke of Clarence afterwards King William IV, then residing at Bushey. He was Chaplain to the Duchess of Clarence, afterwards Queen Adelaide 1824. In1828 he was presented by the Lord Chancellor to the Benefice of New Radnor in 1832; on the promotion of the Hon. Edward Grey to theBishoprics he succeeded him as Dean of Hereford. On 13 June, 1833,William IV appointed him one of the deputy Clerks of the Closet, and asked Lord Melbourne to have a care for his advancement.
In 1836, he was instituted to the Vicarage of Madeley in Shropshire. To his disappointment, he was passed over again and again as vacancies occurred on the Episcopal Bench.
In 1847, he was a strenuous opponent of the Election of Renn Dickson Hampden, to the See of Hereford. After a fruitless memorial to the Queen, he announced to Lord John Russell, the Prime Minister in a letter of great length dated 22nd Dec. his intention of voting against Hampden's election, in the Chapter Meeting, and he received in reply the laconic note, Sir I had the Honour to receive your letter of the 22nd in which you intimate to me your intention of violating the law.
The Dean finally refused to affix the Seal of the Dean and Chapter to the Document recording the Bishop's formal election.
The Dean was an enthusiastic local antiquary. He was elected F.S.A. in1836. In 1843 he issued an interesting statement on the condition and circumstances of the Cathedral Church of Hereford, with Notes on the Effigies and Excellent illustrations of the then condition of the structure. He himself contributed œ500.
THE DIARY OF A DEAN
He was an active member of the Archaeological Institution in connection with which, he did some important work in Wiltshire commemorated by the posthumous publication in 1851 of the Diary of a Dean, being an account of the Examination of Silberry Hill and of various Barrows and other earth works on the Downs of North Wiltshire. The plates illustrating human remains, flint instruments and pottery are from the Dean's own drawings. He died at Madeley Vicarage on 4 April 1850 and was buried in the Lady Chapel of Hereford Cathedral. The fine Lancet Windows at the East End of the Cathedral, were fitted with stained glass to his memory.
By his wife Mary Ann Baker of Wiley, Wilts, he had six sons and three daughters. His wife died 17 June 1879, age 71. "In Memoriam JohanniMerewether, S.T.P. ecelesiae Heref Decani que stenuo factore huius sacraeAedis restitutis felicites est inchoata."
