| 5440 | Several researchers give Merritt's parents as William Gritton and Jane Lipsey. However, William Gritton (husband of Jane Lipsey) died in 1823, and there is no record of a second marriage for her. And those same researchers give Merrit's birth date as 8 Jan 1828. There is obviously a problem with those dates. | Gritton, Merritt (I2605)

| 5449 | Skeleton Found. Paris, Mo., Sept. 8 - Tom Gritton, who was engaged in hauling rock from Allen Creek in the Middle Grove neighborhood, while removing a large rock discovered a skeleton of a man which had evidently been hidden for a number of years past. It is said that this find was made near the place where Alexander Jester camped the night before young Gilbert Gates' mysterious disappearance first caused a thrill of horror in Monroe county thirty ears ago. It is thought that this find may form another link in the chain of circumstantial evidence against the old man charge with the murder of his young traveling companion.
