    • Merrill Memorial.
      The chapter on Nathaniel begins on page 159 and continued through page 161.

      Nathaniel Merrill was one of the earliest settlers of Newbury, Mass., in 1635. He was the ancestor of a vast majority of those who now bear the Merrill name in this country: it is believed, indeed, that less than one percent of the Merrills in America can trace their pedigree to any other emigrant ancestor.

      Nathaniel Merrill and his older brother John were born in England. The registers of Wherstead, a parish lying three miles south of Ipswich, in Suffolk County, England, contain the following entries:

      1599, Aug.16. John Merrell son of Nath. Merrell & Mary his wife was baptised.

      1601, May 4. Nathanaell Merrell son of Nath. Merrell & Mary his wife was baptised.

    • Find a transcription of Nathaniel Merrill's will (d. 1654) and inventory on page 70-72 in the Merrill Memorial (pdf link above in Documents field).

      The author also defines some terms used in the inventory.
      An example: Cotterels ("cottrells," item 18) were hooks from which pots were hung over a fire. [2]
