Lists,

Does anyone know a Merrill that married a Carol anytime after 1955. I don't have a first name. Thankyou Dawn

Asa (7), [1778-1818] m. 1802 Dec 21, Sally Bennet in Corinth, Orange, VT
[VT vr]. You have the correct d. date for Asa but his sister Sarah d.
1863 Jan 30. His lineage is Peter (6,5,4,3), Nathaniel (2,1).

The list of War of 1812 Pensioners has "Asa Merrill, Navy Privateer
WF-#89, Served as Master's Mate on the privateeer Mars". " We are not
sure this is the correct Asa, but we think it is.
We have not looked at the pension file. They are on file at the National
Archives. We looked at some, but not the one for Asa.

Howard and Jean Merrill.
