To add some confusion to the mix:
I came across a genealogy of the Frost family, indicating that a George Frost and family left Argyle, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and moved to Newburyport, MA.Daughter Esther Frost is listed as marrying in 1853, William H Merritt, son of James and Rebecca.Esther is the apparent wife of this William H Merritt in the 1860 census in Seabrook, MA, and again in 1880 (for some reason, the name on the 1870 census is Augusta).
This is in conflict with the probate record that says that William H Merritt's father is Nehemiah.
Does anyone have information that clarifies this?
