Hello,
I'm looking for any information on the family of John Merryman and his two wives, Margaret Eliza Ray and Mary Jane Ray. Especially interested in John's parents. Here is a little information about John from "Biographical & Historical Record-Adams Co., Indiana 1887":
John and Mary Jane (Ray) Merriman, natives of Steubenville, Ohio, the father born July 17, 1816, and the mother February 25, 1828. The father had been twice married, the mother of our subject being his second wife, by whom he had eight children, seven sons and one daughter. By his first marriage he had two children, both now deceased. For many years father ran a distillery at Steubenville. He came to Adams County, Indiana, in 1848, and entered land on section 7 of Blue Creek Township, where he resided until his death January 7, 1879. He was a prominent man in his township, of which he was a trustee, and for twelve years held the office of justice of the peace. Mrs. Merriman is now living at Salem, Blue Creek Township. She belongs to the Methodist Episcopal church, Mr. Merriman having been a member of the same church till his death.
Please email, any correspondance will be greatly appreciated!
