It's a Chicago and Ohio Meigs Thing-- Part 2

From Wikipedia.

Fort Meigs was named after Ohio Governor Return J. Meigs. I found the name return to be of interest and looked it up.

Actually, there were two Return J Meigs, a senior and junior.

Return J. Meigs, Sr. (1740-1823) was a colonel in the American Revolution and was later in on the founding of Marietta, Ohio, on the Ohio River. He later did surveying in Ohio and moved on to Tennessee.

His son, Return J. Meigs, Jr. (1764-1825) was the governor of Ohio for whom the fort was named. He was governor from 1810-1814. I didn't find out, however, where the name Return came from.
