John Willis Merritt, son of Ebenezer(son of Danial of the Thomas of Rye/Greenwich Merritt family), married Julia Ann de Forest of Rochester Aug, 1827. Born at Port Chester (Rye)
4 Jul 1806 where he practised law for fourteen years, was a musical critic on the New York Mirror, and he wrote several novels. This and much more on our family is from Douglas Merritt's "Revised Merritt Records".He covers the Rye/Greenwich family of which he is a member, very well as well as the other Northern Merritt families.
Please if you are or others reading this are members of this family consider a very small contribution to keep up our main cemetary-the Ridge Street Merritt Cemetery. My father who just passed away was paying $500/year to a professional in the Greenwich area to mow it 3 times a year and rake it. I've been able to get the town to remove dead trees.We check on it periodically, but my generation can't afford to do it on our own. There have to be thousands of decendents so even $10/year would be appreciated. I am Joseph Merritt, 31 Woods Road, Bloomfield, CT 06002. Maybe someone can turn this into a family association. Oh, what the heck-I'll find a membership certificate for you if you send a check. You'll be a certified Merritt Family member. If we do well we can give some attention to other cemeteries with Merritts nearby and do some stone preservation work.
