  1. 4.  Merritt Gritton was born on 8 Jan 1828 in Mercer County, Kentucky; died on 22 May 1872 in Monroe County, Missouri; was buried in Gritton Family Cemetery, Middle Grove, Monroe County, Missouri.

    • Census: 1850, Mercer County, Missouri
    • Census: 1860, Union, Monroe County, Missouri
    • Census: 1870, Union, Monroe County, Missouri

    Notes:

    Several researchers give Merritt's parents as William Gritton and Jane Lipsey. However, William Gritton (husband of Jane Lipsey) died in 1823, and there is no record of a second marriage for her. And those same researchers give Merrit's birth date as 8 Jan 1828. There is obviously a problem with those dates.
