Pg. 197-198 Lynn Turner's book "The Merritt Families of North Carolina, 1700-1850", tells the story of James Walker Merritt and says after stating research including the will of James Walker, that obviously Mary Walker Merritt was the mother of James Walker Merritt.Mary's husband was William Merritt of Stokes Co NC. Signing up for the War of 1812 from Stokes Co NC along with James Merritt, Wm Newton Ladd, Wm Gibson, Frederick Fulk, Thomas and Owen Walker. These pages go on to discuss other records re. James Walker Merritt also in Rockingham and Forsythe Co NC. Hope this data is of some help. Best of luck, Jim Merritt, Turlock, CA.
