Meriwether Lewis was a very moody and introverted person. He would make the decision to remain a lifelong bachelor. He therefore never married nor had any children. I wouldn't say he chose to be a bachelor; it just turned out that way. He courted many women and apparently proposed to one, but without success. If he had a chance, though, he would have gotten married.
Yes, they were friends. Thomas Jefferson was good friends with Lewis's father, who died in the Revolutionary War. They were neighbors for many years, and when Jefferson became president, he made Meriwether Lewis his personal secretary.
