Hi Patti,
I'd be very interested in more information about Edward A. Merchant. He is my ggg-grandfather. In my family bible, he is listed as having been born in 1791. Do you know who his father/mother was? I have gone back as far as him having been born in South Carolina but other than that I know nothing.
I have an obituary of his son, Berry. In the obit, a bit about Edward is mentioned. That he came to Texas first in 1829 then moved his family down in 1832. Also, he was at the siege of San Antonio.
Best,
Amanda Merchant
