My Merritt ancestors moved from Halifax County, NC to Jackson County, Marianna, FL about 1840. Ethington and his brother Shadrack show up in the first census down there around that time but then by the time of the first election, 1845, Shadrack had gone. I have heard that he moved to west Florida or Southern Alabama to live with relatives. Do your records show a Shadrack or "Shade" living with or near Levi's family? If there is any connection I would appreciate hearing from you.Clarke Blanton
