William Meade
William Meade (November 11, 1789 – March 14, 1862), was a United States Episcopal bishop, the third Bishop of Virginia.
==Early life==
His father, Colonel Richard Kidder Meade (1746–1805), one of George Washington's aides during the War of Independence, after the conflict ended sold his estate at Coggins Point on the James River near Henricus and bought 1000 acres and moved the family to the Shenandoah Valley. Thus, William Meade was born on November 11, 1789 at 'Meadea' near White Post, then grew up at Lucky Hit plantation in Frederick County but now Clarke County, Virginia.〔 and (''Accompanying photo'' )〕 Both are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The boy was home-schooled until he was ten, then sent to a school run by Rev. Wiley on the estate of Nathaniel Burwell.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Burwell, Nathaniel (1750–1814) )〕 Rather than attend the College of William and Mary in Virginia, which some considered irreligious by the time, young Meade and his fellow student William H. Fitzhugh〔Thomas John Chew Williams, A History of Washington County, Maryland: From the ..., Volume 1, Part 1, note at p. 141 available at google books, http://books.google.com/books?id=Q9AwAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA141&lpg=PA141&dq=william+h.+fitzhugh&source=bl&ots=hVXxORI7bJ&sig=Tqica-gTrwLTFIUKhMf5HbUq1kw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=DigKVLmKPJakyASM44CwCQ&ved=0CB0Q6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=william%20h.%20fitzhugh&f=false〕 entered the college of New Jersey (later Princeton University) in 1806. Meade graduated with high honors and as valedictorian in 1808.〔Slaughter at p. 9〕
At the urging of his mother and his cousin Mrs. Custis, Meade studied theology privately under the Rev. Walter Addison near the newly established national capital, and lived for a time in Alexandria, Virginia across the Potomac River from Rev. Addison's parish. He was particularly impressed by Soame Jenyns ''Internal Evidence of Christianity'' and William Wilberforce's ''Practical View.'' Meade also returned to Princeton in 1809 to continue some graduate studies in divinity (since it had been organized by the Presbyterian Church), but caught a near-fatal fever, and so returned home to work on the farm as well as to build his own Shenandoah valley home at ''Mountain View'' (an estate which remains today, although no longer in Meade family ownership).
