Notes for JOHN MERRILL, JR.:
John Merrell, Jr., went to Kentucky with his wife and a large family of children about the year of 1810, and it is said that his descendents were scattered over Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana by 1880. His descendents are also found in Missouri, Texas, Idaho, and California. John was 20 to 25 years older than his brother, Benjamin Smith Merrell. James went with John to Kentucky, according to William Washington Merrell's recollection, and if so, James Merrell later went to Mississippi. James went with his dad, John Merrell, to Monroe County, Mississippi, in about 1820. The census records show James and John, Sr. in Mississippi in 1820 & 1830.
