Lewis Merrill's Family

From Lewiss Merrill Find a Grave.

Lewis Merrill's father, James Merrill (1790-1840) is listed as a judge and is buried in New Berlin, Pennsylvania.  His mother, Sarah B. Lewis Merrill (1794-1876)  is buried at Lewisburg Cemetery  in Lewisburg, Pa.  She was the third wife of James Merrill.

His brother was Jesse Merrill (1838-1899) who served the Union in the Civil War.  I'll write about him in the next post.

A half brother, Charles Merrill was also in the Union Army and died in 1865.

One of his daughters, Mary Merrill Scott (1862-1950) married Major General Hugh Lenox Scott (1853-1934) and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Another son was Lt.Col. John Houston Merrill, also buried at Arlington.

I'll do research on these people next.
