6 Otho Murfield Merrifield 4 Nov 1814 Union Grove, Greene,

KY) 8 Dec 1842 McLean Co, IL- has 11 children.

10 Eleanor Nellie Merrifield 5 Nov 1820 Xenia, Greene, OH;
d 21 Mar 1898 LeRoy; n James Handshaw Lincoln 15 Feb 1813
North Union, Pa; d 5 Mar 1877 LeRoy (s/o Thomas & Mary Jones Lincoln). m 12 Sep 1841 LeRoy,McLean, IL. Has 7 children.

11 Mary Elizabeth Merrifield b 1825-1830 m William Conaway

(bet 1819-1820) m McLean Co, IL; has Leander b 1850 &
Emanuel Canady (1856-21 Oct 1857 Oak Grove Cem, LeRoy)
John M.'s parents are John Canady (d 25 Sep 1835 Old Oak
Grove Cem, LeRoy) & Grace D. (d 12 Dec 1855 Old Oak Grove
Cem, LeRoy).

James & Emanuel are thought to be ss/o Samuel Merrifield Jr
& Sarah. But if James is in Ky in 1781-1784 maybe not Samuel Jr's son. Samuel Merrifield Jr is s/o Samuel Merryfield & Mary M. (most researchers names her Mary Elizabeth but not accoring to a 1754 land record) of Frederick Co, Va.

As you go backwards--will find mistakes & very little
data to subsantiate claims made. Can't prove anything.
Don't have very many records of Pa, Va--just enough for
me to make an educated guess????

Am a Merrifield researcher who have been at it for over
35 years. But can't answer questions because I don't have
the records to prove it!!!
