Information on Elizabeth Merry

Note: some estimates list the birthdate of Elizabeth Merry as abt. 1696, but based upon records listing Thomas Merry's children as "eldest child 9 yrs & youngest 15 months, 5 children" in abt. 1718, she was probably born closer to 1708 or 1709, perhaps she was the eldest child listed, as she married in 1725.


From Genforum.com post:

Peter Montague married Elizabeth Merry, daughter of Thomas Merry of Denbigh Parish, Warwick County. On Feb. 24 1695/6 Peter Montague relinquished title to land in Warwick near Kerby's Pine deeded to him by his father-in-law Thomas Merry, and he and his wife Elizabeth gave power of attorney to 'our brother-in-law' William Bressie to acknowledge the relinqueshment.
