Individual:
Timothy moved to Tennessee with his father in 1801 and was his fathers private secretary and confidential agent whil e the elder Meigs was stationed at Southwest Point now Kingston, Tenn.). He there formed a friendship ith John Ross (who later was principle Chief of the Cherokees) which led a partnership. They opened a store on the Tennessee River around 1810 at the point which is today the city of Chattanooga. The store was called by the firms name "Meigs and R oss". They also had a warehouse and ferry service. This fortunate association brought lucrative government contracts to the firm during the Creek War of 1813-14 when blankets, orn and other supplies were needed for the Cherokee warriors.
The partnership seemed to bring their families close together. After Mollie Ross (Daniel Ross' wife) died in 1808, Mrs. Return J. Meigs occasionally would care for the young Ross girls; Elizabeth and Maria became particular favorites of the Meigs family."[BowmanSimpson204.FTW]
