"Nathaniel2 Merriman, son of Nathaniel1, was born, probably at New Haven, about 1647. He was made a freeman of New Haven in Oct 1669 and had land assigned to him the following year at Wallingford. He was killed in King Philip's war 19 Dec 1675 in the attack on the Indian fort in Rhode Island. On 26 June 1685 the town of Wallingford voted ten acres of land to his brothers. He left no issue. On 1 April 1688 Nathanael Merriman sold to James Heaton 'with the full and free consent of my sons John Samuell and Caleb all the accomodations of land that was reputed to be my son Nathaniel Merriman now deceased his accomodations of land being within the bounds of Wallingford' (New Haven Deeds, vol. i, p. 787)."
