Brief Summary of Chancery Proceedings.

Complaint dated 7 May 1596.

About 40 years ago(1560 Pts: was seized of two mess: or tens: and a close in Witney which he mortgaged to his brother in law William Ruige for 40 markes paying interest of 18 sillings yearly. Pts: says this property was settled on his wife for life. He claims possession of property at any time on paying off the mortage.

Reply dated 8 May 1596.

Deft: states that he purchased the ppty: from the Pts: for good consideration about 2 July 1557-8 and that Pts: refers to other ppty: which was only leasehold and belonged to one, Richard Newman, who about 1550 demised it to Thomas Merriman father of the Pts: for a term of 21 yearsaat a yearly rent of 18 shillings.

About September 1593 Deft: required possession of one of his houses (then occupied by the Pts:) and allowed the Pts: to occupy one other of Defts: houses in Hayley at the pleasure of the Deft:

Deft: and his son Leonard Ruige then leased the house (formerly in the Occ: of Pts) to Robert Stevens of Abingdon Berks.

9. George MERRIMAN1 (Gregorii 2, Thomas 1) was born in 1559 in Witney, , Oxfordshire, England and died in 1656 in London, , , England aged 97. General Notes: GEORGE MERRYMAN.

Sonne of Gregory Merryman of Whytney in the County of Oxon Weav. He was apprenticed to Raphaell Warter and became a Cooper of London.

[? "The son who went to London."]

Ex. from Records of the Coopers' Company, London:-- "Court day on Thirsday the XIXth day of June 1606.....This day Raphell Warter brought into this Court one George Merryman the sonne of Gregory Merryman of Whytney in the County of Oxon Weav. and presented him heare has desired this Company to take notice of an Indenture of Apprenticeg dated the XViijth day of ffebruary 1598 whereby the said George was bound unto him for Ix yeares from the day of the date of the said indenture."

[N.B.--If George M. was 10 years old at the date of the Indenture he was born 1587-8.] "4th Oct, 1610.--Recd of George Merryman for his publey (?) by Taxhall (? Raphaell) Warter iii iiii." "27th July 1633 (/) Recd of George Merryman for prenticing John Rowan for eight yearts...... XXd." "16th Noe: 1638. Recd of George Merryman for prenticing William Myles for eight years...... XXd." "5 Feb. 1655. John Merriman had turned over to him Henry Allison...... Formerly apprentice of George Merriman." [N.B.--This date means 1656, and shows that Goerge Merriman died before 5 Feb. in that year.]

Ex. "Genealogical Gleanings in England," by Henry F. Waters,VVol 2, p. 1445 (B. M. 2100, c.):--

George Merriman, Citizen and Freeman of Coopers' Company, London. His Will dated 31 Oct, 1655, Proved P.C.C., 19 May, 1656 (Berkley 175). "I do give unto my son Nathaniell Merriman, now resident in New England, the sum of ten pounds of Lawful English money; and unto my daughter Elizabeth Norman, whom I have already advanced in marriage with Master John Norman, I give twenty shillings to buy her a ring in remembrance of my love. My servant Henry Allison to serve out the remainder of his time of apprenticeship with my son John Merriman. The residue to son John whom I do hereby make and ordain full and sole executor, etc."

Marke of George Merriman.

From this it appears that George Merriman had at least three children living in 1655, viz,:--

1.--Elizabeth, m. John Norman.

2.--John Merriman, who carried on his father's business of Cooper, in London, and was sole executor of his Father's Will and took over his father's apprentice, Henry Allison.

He left several sons and was the founder of the American branch of the Merriman Family.

In May he was elected town clerk of Wallingford and continued to hold office for nine and one-half years. During this year he served on a committee to secure the erection of a mill for grinding corn. He was one of a committee to establish the bounds between New Haven and Wallingford. He was chosen to keep an ordinary and he promised to try it for one year if each planter would furnish twenty fence rails and four posts ready mortised.

1674- He was one of the deputies or representatives, of Wallingford to the session of the General Court of Connecticut which met in May. Nathaniel Merriman was a juryman in...[the New Haven County] Court on the following dates: 13 Nov. 1672, 1 Jun 1673, 1 June 1674, and 14 June 1676.

1675-On 15 Feb he was appointed one of a committee to establish and maintain a church of Christ. This was a year of great anxiety of impending attacks by the Narragansett Indians. On 27 Aug the houses of Rev. Mr. Street and Lieut. Merriman were ordered to be fortified. On 5 Oct an especial appeal was issued for men to build flankers at Lieut. Merriman's barn. On 1 Nov at a meeting of the Council of the Court of Connecticut, Lieut. Merriman was confirmed as captain of a troop of dragoons to be raised in New Haven County. King Philip's War then followed. It is not known what part Nathaniel Merriman took in it, although the subsequent action of the people of Wallingford indicates that his services were important. His name is not found as captain of any of the five Connecticut companies which went to Rhode Island to subdue the Indians. On 19 December the troops attacked the Indians in their fortified encampment in a swamp in Rhode Island, slew about five hundred and took many captives. Nathaniel Merriman, Jr. was killed in this bloody fight.

1676- Dangers from the Indians still threatened the colony. On 3 March Lieut. Merriman and Ensign Munson wrote to the council at Hartford concerning the garrisoning of houses. On 4 March, Mr. Moss, Lieut. Merriman and Benj. Lewis were chosen a committee to see that the fortifications be made sufficient. On 3 March they sent to the Council at Hartford an urgent appeal for help.

1678- In May he was again deputy for Wallingford at the Court in Hartford, but being ill he was permitted to withdraw. At this session he was appointed one of the commissioners (magistrates) of Wallingford for the ensuing year. On 13 December he and Abraham Doolittle were appointed 'to speak with ye town of New Haven for a bridge at ye place commonly called ye pines on the road from Wallingford to New Haven.'

1680- On 20 Dec the town 'grants a lot to Nathaniel Merriman for one head and what estate he hath in his list.'

1681- Indian chiefs executed a deed to the town of Wallingford, Nathaniel Marriman being one of the five trustees named therein.

1683- John Talcott deeded a tract of land to five trustees for the benefit of the town, Nathaniel Merriman being one of them.

1685- A list of the proprietors of lands in New Haven for this year includes that of Nathaniel Merriman. On 26 Jan at a town meeting at Wallingford it was voted 'the town sharing their respect to those that were employed in the country's service during the war do grant unto Lieut. Merriman 1 acres and to the brothers of Nathaniel Merriman that was slain in the fort fight 10 acres. In October he represented Wallingford for the last time as Deputy to the General Court. All together he had served nine times in that honorable position.

1686- On 14 Feb the town granted to Lieut. Merriman 8 acres of his soldier's land joining to a swamp. This evidently refers to the land granted to him in the previous year.

1690- Lots being cast for the land at falls Plain he drew No. 24, his son John drew No. 58, and his son Samuel drew No. 53.

1691-He evidently contemplated retiring from the command of the train band, but dissention

Page 17 Produced by Ivor Jones Descendants of Thomas MERRIMAN DE WYTTNEYE

arose among the men in regard to his successor. The Court ordered 14 May that he should continue as lieutenant until otherwise ordered. In October this action was reaffirmed by the General Court. In the following year, the Court appointed a committee to go to Wallingford and lead the train soldiers in an orderly choice of officers.

1692-On 6 June he wrote his will....On 9 Sept another paragraph was added...

1694-On 8 Feb he was probably ill and unable to sign a codicil...'Capt. Nathaniel Merriman deceecd in ye 80st year of his age ffebrury-13-1693/4' Such is the Wallingford record."

He appointed his wife Joane Merriman and son Caleb as executors. To Joane- certain real and personal property during lifetime, to revert to Caleb on decease. "'ye bed bolster & pillows, with a paire of ye best sheets, the best rug and blanket, the curtains and vallens with the bedstead, all wch we have usually reposed in during the time of our living together.' 'As for my other two somes John & Samuell Merriman, they have already received their porcons in housing lands cattle & other estate my will is yet each of them have twenty shillings as a legacy.'" To Mary Curtis- £5. To wife- one third of certain cattle, one-half of certain household goods, rest to surviving daughters. To Caleb- "certain tools, 'my military books, my cutlash & sash, my best gun & all other accoutrements belonging to military affairs except complete arms and ammunition according to law for any one man servant that my wife may have occasion to keep.'" Surviving sons-Clothes. He later changed his mind and split his military books, his corn fan, and carpenter tools between his three sons.

A brief inventory of March 6th- home lot, orchard and pasture, house and barn £145, 338 acres of other land in Wallingford 196 12 6, a meadow in New Haven 40 0 0, cattle 40 5 0,carpenter tools and agricultural implements 17 10 10, hay and other supplies 18 0 6, money 1 16 5, guns and military 8 10 0, household 81 3 10.

A letter written by John Moss and Nathaniel Merriman, copied into that volume: "'Honored Sirs these few lines are to certifie you...that last nigh Goodman Coles house was burnt and this morning came wume Thoms and severall Indeans with him a pass from S Major Treat which indeans we did suspect to have burnt it but they say they lay at Serj Beckles, and came out at Wethersfield Sun 2 hours high and it was dark before they came to Serj Becklies.

Ex. "Newbury Parish Church Registers."-Baptisms:-

"1618. John Meryman the sonne of Thomas Meryman was baptised the first of Maye. Suerties were John Marttine, John Huttchine and Alise Busshnell."

He was a Captain of Horse in the Parliamentary Army, and "in a Commission subsequently (1659) granted to him by the Rump Parliament, he is described as Major in Col. Riche's regiment of Horse"-Ex.Commons' Journal, 13 July, 1659.

Ex. from Notes by Samuel Merriman M.D. :-

"...Where he was educated, whether he exercised any occupation before he took up arms, or at what time he entered the ARmy is not known, but it seems likely that he was determined in the choice of his Profession by circumstances incidental with the two Battles fought near his native town in 1643 and 1644 between the King's forces and those of the Earl of Essex; or perhaps by the frequent frays and skirmishes in Oxfordshire, Berks., Wilts., &c., at an earlier period; to the fortifying by the orders of Parliament the Town of Marlboro' with which Newbury was often much connected, and by the attack upon that town by Lord Digby in December 1642 when it was carried by assault with great slaughter, and many houses were burnt down. At whatever period he entered the Army he had attained the rank of Captain before he had completed his 30th year, and on the 9th & 10th of April 1648 he distinguished himself under General Lord Fairfax in suppressing the very formidable insurrection of the 'London Apprentices.' In this encounter he was wounded by a piece of Artillery known by the name of 'a Drake,' and his Leiutenant was still more dangerously wounded by the same shot."

See also Extracts from Whitelock's Memorials, 1680, pp. 298-299 reInsurrection.

Ex. from Whitelock's Memorials:-

.....they fired their Drake, hurt Captain Merriman in the shoulder, and his Leiutenant in the belly, and killed a woman. This small party of the Army behaved themselves against a great multitude of men with much gallantry and resolution, and it was no small happiness to the Parliament that this insurrection was quieted etc."

John Merriman had custody of King Charles I at Carisbrooke, where his mild conduct towards his Royal Prisoner drew forth the grateful feelings of the monarch.

In the early days, before fences were built and the land cleared, a certain mark was put in the ears of cattle belonging to a person, in order to distinguish his cattle from that of his neighbor.

These marks were registered to identify cattle belonging to different individuals, and to avoid a duplication of marks. The marks also act as an "unofficial" census, placing an individual in the town of Granville in a specific year 1793 Asaph Cook 1794 Charles Cook 1803 Asaph Cook 1814- Isaiah Cook

Grandson Edwin N. Cooke says about 1875 :"My Grandfather and three brothers were in the battle of Bunker Hill, he was Captain of a company of self constituled, termed Minute Men who had not up to that date enlisted in the regular army but held themselves ready at a minutes warning to march to the field. On the night previous to the battle to Bunker Hill he marched his company through the city of Boston undiscouved by the British soldiers and joined the Federal Army on the hill, which was posted behind stone wall and fences ready by the dawn of day for action. The soldiers were armed with the old flint lock musket. Each man was ordered to lay flat close to the ground and close together as possible behind the fence and wait until the enemy appoached very close before they fired a single gun. The result proved the wisdon of the order that enemy was repulsed twice the third time time they repulsed the Federals. During the last charge of the enemy my Grandfather received a blast of powder which exploded from the primer pan of a soldier's gun who was laying next to him on the ground directly into his face and eyes. This blinded him for some minutes. When he could see his friends were all retreating and the British soldiers were getting over the fence on each side of him. He decampt to the utmost of his ability and escaped with a few scratches and the powder which was blown under the sking around his eyes and face. This remained during his life time and somewhat maried hos complaction."

From the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography

John Merriman (1774– 1839), first cousin to Samuel Merriman, was born on 26 October 1774 at Marlborough, Wiltshire, the son of Nathaniel Merriman and Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Baverstock of Alton, Hampshire. In 1794 he moved to London to complete his medical training, and became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons and the Society of Apothecaries. He practised medicine in partnership with Thomas Hardwick of Kensington, and their professional relationship was strengthened when Merriman married Hardwick's niece Jane. Merriman enjoyed

Page 68 Produced by Ivor Jones Descendants of Thomas MERRIMAN DE WYTTNEYE

an extensive practice and rose to become one of the medical attendants to the royal household. He attended the duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and the Princess Sophia at Kensington Palace. With Victoria's accession to the throne in 1837 Merriman and his two sons, John and James Nathaniel, with whom he worked in partnership, jointly held the post of apothecary-extraordinary to her majesty. Merriman died on 17 June 1839 at Kensington Square after a long illness.

"June 17th, 1839, at his house in Kensington Square, Mr. John Merriman Esq., Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, and of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries. He was born October 26th, 1774, at Marlborough, in Wilstshire. In 1794 he came to London to complete his medical eductation, and soon became associated in business at Kensington with Thomas Hardwick, Esq., whose neice Jane, daughter of John Hardwick, Esq., of Weston, Herefordshire, he married.

Mr. Merriman had acquired an enlarged and accurate knowledge of his profession, and was most extensively engaged in practice. For many years he was the Medical Attendant at Kensington Palace, on her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and on Princess Victoria, our present Queen: in consideration of which, her Majesty, when she ascended the throne was graciously pleased to confer upon him and his two sons, the appointment of Apothecary Extraordinary to her Majesty.

But it was not in the houses of the wealthy and distinguished only that Mr. Merriman's kind and skilful endeavours to mitigate the sufferings of humanity were exercised; whenever his duty called him to the abodes of the poor and necessitous, his ready aid was cheerfully given to relieve their infirmities and allay their pains, "where hopeless anguish poured a groan, His useful care was ever nigh" and thousands live, who can bear testimony to the electric charm of his cheerful countenance on the bed of langour and suffering.

Nor did he confine his services to the mere excise of professional talent; kind and generous, his benefactions to the poor, and his bounty to all who needed it, were like his hospitality, prompt, unremitting, unostentatious and abundant.

His illness was of long duration, and borne with exemplary patience and resignation; in the daily practice of his religious duties, according to the admirable services of our Church, he sought and obtained that consilation by which the weariness and depression of protracted sickness is supported, and the bitterness of death is assuaged. He is gone to recieve his reward, carrying with him to the grave the love, respect, and affectionate regrets of a large number of his friends and fellow mortals."

Noted events in his life were: • Apprenticed to: an apothecary of the old school.14 • Death Place: 44 Kensington Square, London, , , England.14 • He was educated. Free Grammar School at Marlboro, apprenticed to Apothecary of the old school • He was educated at Free Grammar School in Marlborough, , Wiltshire, England.14 • He was employed.
