    "Capt. John Merriman, in will of 15 May 1740, proved 7 Feb 1741, mentioned sons Israel, John, and George; Daniell, son of his son George; daughter Elisabeth sometime wife of Gershom Todd of New Haven; children of daughter Sarah deceased, sometime wife of Moses Atwater; children of daughter Mary deceased that was wife of John Merriam; children of daughter Susannah wife of Ezekiel Tuttle; and son Caleb. (New Haven Probate, vol. 6, p. 386). John Merriman was captain of the Wallingford train band and, for fourteen years, deputy to the General Court of the Colony of Connecticut."

    "It has been stated that Mary Doolittle was the second wife of John Merriman, but this is erroneous, for the Wallingford records show his marriage to Elizabeth Peck (Land Book, vol. 1, p. 161). Moreover, Caleb his youngest son, deeded land in the right of his 'grandfather peck' which fell to him from his mother 'Elisabeth Merriman' (Wallingford Deeds vol. 8, p. 481)."
