This scheme resolves my ten-year struggle to identify the parents of Thaddeus MERRILL 1777-1855. To accommodate Thaddeus' 1777 birthdate, I had to discard the 1766 birth date and the 1786 marriage date for Anna LONG, which were suggested by Joslyn and Cutter. If find no evidence for those dates.
Anna's 1758 birthdate is confirmed by LONG data in Taunton. Anna' sister Sarah LONG 1762-1802 married Nathaniel's brother John MERRILL 1764-abt.1845.
Furthermore, Anna's and Nathaniel's children Simeon and Baldwin, b. in Rowe, have names which suggest that Anna LONG's husband was indeed Nathaniel MERRILL b.Pelham NH 1755- and not Nathaniel MERRILL b.Newbury 1753 .
For a more detailed discussion, see "Who were the parents of Thaddeus MERRILL 1777-1855?"
