Son of Samuel Meigs and Mindwell Norton. Felix was arrested for counterfeiting money in New York in 1772, Found guilty and sentenced to hang, but at the last minute received a pardon. Might be why he and his family (wife Jerusha and 4 children) removed to Vermont. I have newspaper articles on the arrest, conviction and pardon. I'd like more information on why he is referred to CAPTAIN. Thanks Tracy (email -
