Return Jonathan Meigs II

Return Jonathan Meigs, Jr. was a politician, Democrat, Republican, and poet.
Meigs was the son of Jonathan Meigs Sr. (1734-1823), a colonel in the Continental Army during the American War of Independence, graduated from Yale University, where he studied law, and had a colorful political career primarily in Ohio.
In 1798 Meigs was appointed judge of the Northwest Territory and the following year was elected to the territorial legislature. When Ohio became a state in 1803, he became chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court. Meigs served as senator 1808 to 1810; he was governor of Ohio from 1810 to 1814. Meigs County, Ohio, and Fort Meigs in Perrysburg, Ohio, are named in his honor.
