Hi:
I am just completing the diary of Sarah Jones Dan Signor and believe that the
Meritts are mentioned in certain areas of her diary. I am trying to get a
listing of all thsoe mentioned
in the diary but will try to get back to you later in the week. Believe they
were mentioned in the later part of her writings, when they were in
Colchester/Downsville area. So let me review the last 100 pgs and geet bak to
you.
