Hi, Brett,
Thank you for this wonderful message!It will be the weekend before I have time to even give a full response, much less try to see if I can locate any new information.I also have nothing that proves a relationship, but fully agree that the amount of circumstantial evidence cannot be ignored.Daniel Merritt was my fourth great grandfather, and I will share what I have this weekend.I have also sent emails to my brother, Jim (Swank) and third cousin, Tim Crouch who share in the lineage from Daniel Merritt.I will respond here, but please let me know if you have an interest in Daniel's will and if so, if I may use your email address to send that to you.To the best of my knowledge, we have no Ruth, but Daniel had a son John and a daughter Betsey (assumed Elizabeth) among others.The line Jim, Tim and I all share is through Daniel's daughter, Polly (Mary) who was the second wife of Robert Crouch.Thank you again for your informative response!
