Notes

From A Merrill Memorial:
Wilterton Merrill was born 28 June 1675 in Hartford, Conn., and died 14 May 1755, having lived in Hartford all his life. Gregory Wilterton of Hartford, who is supposed to have been a connection of the family, at his death, in July 1674, left the larger portion of his estate to John Merrill, and John Merrill names his next-born son in honor of his benefactor. Wilterton Merrill was one of the original proprietors of the town of Winchester, Conn. in 1744, but he never lived there. He married (1) 1 Jan 1702/3 to Ruth Pratt, daughter of John and Hepzibah Pratt of Hartford; she was born 21 Dec 1677; he married (2) 20 Jan 1708/9 Hannah Waters, daughter of Bevil Waters of Hartford; she died 8 May 1730, age 49 and he married (3) Elizabeth, who survived him.
