I can't help you find origins of the Merrell family, but do have an inkling of what might have brought them to Florida.
In my family a farm couple abandoned their Vermont farm because they were hungry and couldn't afford to run it any longer.They went to Florida and both husband and wife became itinerant citrus fruit pickers.Eventually they saved enough money to return to their farm, and continued their lives there.
