		<description>Hi Nancy;

Glad you liked the Old Percy Township records.

The Merrills are one of the few pioneer families (the other being Dingman) that still have strong representation in the area.

		<description>Hi!  I&#039;ve been enjoying the fruits of your hard labor for the past four hours. What an amazing site you have here, and thanks so much for your meticulous data and your generosity.  

My ancestor was Roger Merrill (and other variants, which I&#039;m sure you know better than do I).  I&#039;d be very interested in sharing what I know with you, although it&#039;s not much, and what I do have, is due mostly to the kindness of others.  Let me see if they don&#039;t mind if I share.  

Again, thanks so much for your awesome site.  Please email me if you&#039;re interested in early information on the Merrills and other related members.  I noted, for example, that one of the sources has them as Huguenots.  I&#039;m certain that they were not, as my Nathaniel Merrill family came from England (abt. 1400 to sixteen/seventeen hundreds).  Roger Merrill (b. 1755, West Hartford, CT) from that same family was in the Revolutionary War, moved to Canada in abt. 1797 (see tax rolls that you all so generously shared), and died there.  His son (one of many siblings), Samuel Merrill, raised a family there, and then HIS son, Albert Forest Merrill, moved to the Long Rapids area of Michigan in about 1859 (then Fremont), and died there of tuberculosis in 1881.</description>
