I have a Catherine Ella Tillinghast (born 1930, died before 1981) who married a James Thomas Merritt in 1952.I have that they had one child, a girl named Buna Joy Merritt who was born in 1953).Catherine was married previously to John E. Shopf in 1948.They had a daughter, Geraldine Shopf, born in 1950.Catherine is the daughter of Harry Scott Tillinghast (1907 - 1991) and Violet M. Frankfield.These are the only Tillinghast / Merritts that I have in my database that look like they could have had a son in the late 1950's.
