  • Notes 
    • Note on Find a Grave:
      Family records indicate that Gideon and Mary had five children, 3 boys and 2 girls: Samuel, Nathaniel, Gideon, Mary (Merrill) Steel and Hannah (Merrill) Merry.

      Gideon and Mary were my 5th great grandparents. It is exciting to have found them. His son Gideon (1749-1803), whose burial along with the other children is unknown, was a participant in the Revolutionary War.

      Apparently no tombstone(s) exist at this time. One person indicated that a grave marker was extant when the book on the cemetery was written in 1994 and may still be there in the middle of the north edge of the burying ground near what is called locally "the Gold Building" on Main Street in downtown Hartford.
