Sharon wrote "I searched the US and census and tracked the family through the 1910 census. I think that the son named Walter G. is found in the 1920 census in Spokane, Washington. I can't prove it's him. He doesn't have any children so that's a dead end. Perhaps this information will help others so feel free To post it to your site."

We would like to know more of
Sgt Charles Merryweather
who was in a Welsh regiment and was killed at the Battle of Queenston (Queenstown) Heights Now Canada on October 13, 1812.
He is mentioned in a plaque found in Brock's Monument. Brock's Monument is an historic site in Queenston, Ontario that commemorates the life and death of General Sir Isaac Brock who was killed while stopping an American invasion across the Niagara River.
The monument is very similar to Nelson's Column only bigger.
From: 26thalabama@ameritech.net (Tod Molesworth) 23 Dec 2001
I am a researcher of the 41st Regiment of Foot in which Sgt. George, not Charles, Merryweather was a member of. He was Sgt. In the Grenadier Company of the 41st Regiment of Foot, posted at either Chippawa or Ft. George when the Battle of Queenston began. I'm going to the National Archives in London to research more about the soldiers that served
in late January and will let you know what I find.
