6. Note: Note: From the History of Centre & Clinton Counties, Pennsylvania: "Elijah Merriman came also with them [Vaughn Brothers, in party of hunters from Maryland]. After following the chase for some time he build a little log house on the red-shoal lands of Black-Oak Ridge, cleared a small piece of ground, and in due time laid claim to the tract of land he had "marked in". This farm is now owned by his son Thomas. He used to tell how, when he was hunting on a steep hill nearby, he would start large stones rolling down the hill for sport, little thinking that he should afterward own the same lands and be compelled to haul them off. His children were George, Mary, Keziah, Lija, Phoebe, Leonard, William, John, Charles, Nancy, Thomas, Rebecca, and Isabel.
