The following is from Grace Marmaduke's "The Marmaduke and Some AlliedFamilies": Governor Meredith Miles Marmaduke: "Dr. L. G. Tyler, in theEnclyclopedia of Virginia Biography, says of him:
'At the age of twenty two he was commissioned Colonel of a Regimentraised in his county for defense services.' (War of 1812) 'Afterwardshe was appointed District Marshal for the Eastern District Court. Heserved for several years as United States Marshal, and was appointedClerk of the Circuit Court.'
Attracted by the expansion westward, Meredith Miles Marmaduke moved toMissouri in 1821, locating at New Franklin in Howard County.Interesting records are found in Warsaw, Virginia, in the clerk'soffice: Deed Book 21, p. 421, under date, June 13, 1819, says thatSmauel Purcell sells to M. M. Marmaduke land in the 'Territtory ofMissouri, and which is particularly described in a warrant byPresident James Monroe.' Deed Book 20, p. 714 has: 'Indenture made -between Meredith M. Marmaduke, Deputy Marshal of John Stannard of theSuperior Court of Chancery for Fredericksburg, DIstrict ofWestmoreland and Landon Carter.'
After becoming a pioneer to Missouri, he was engaged for six years inthe overland trade with New Mexico; helping to blaze that trailwestward for the expansion of our Nation. He kept a diary." (Thisdiary is included in the above mentioned article.)
Her article later cites an excerpt from the National Enclyclopedia ofAmerican Biography, Vol. XII, pp. 303, 308, furnished by Dr. Tyler:
"Meredith Miles Marmaduke became a man of importance and infulence inMissouri, and in various business ventures, amassed a fortune. - Heorganized the first State Fair, and served as its President. He wassurveyor of Saline County, and laid out the town of Arrow Rock. He wasalso COunty Judge. In 1840 he was elceted Lieut. Governor of Missouri,and by the death of Governor Reynolds in 1844, he was advanced to theGovernorship."
In the Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Vol. 9, Dr. Tyler writes:"In 1847 he was made a member of the Constitutiona Convention. In1860-61, although his sons embraced the Confederate Cause, he wasopposed to secession, without upholding the violent acts of theFederal authorities in Missouri. He died near Arrow Rock, March 26,1864."
[1683]
"Colonel Marmaduke made his home near Arrow Rock Missouri. Her, theprominent Dr. John Sappington (formerly of Maryland) had a tavern, andseveral attractive daughters. The explorers, Kit Carson, Lewis andClark, Governor Claiborne Jackson and M. M. Marmaduke, were guests inthis house. January 24, 1826, Colonel Marmaduke married LaviniaSappington, a daughter of the doctor. Governor Jackson, in turn,mariied three of the daughters. . . The old tavern is now protected asa D. A. R. shrine; and the westward trail is marked by them, as atoken of our westward expansion."
From the Missouri State Historical Society:
"The uniting of the families of Marmaduke and Sappington exercised acontrolling infulence over the politics of their county, and thememory of this fact has been perpetuated in a pointing by GeneralBingham entitled "The General Election." - it portrays the principalparies - and Meredith Miles Marmaduke can be easily recognized aspresiding Judge."
