Hi.

Send me your E-Mail, will answer some questions, create some more. Stacy Turner atm Carolkar@aol.com

I was wondering if you could send me some information on Noel Merritt and the others? I am a great-grandchild of noel and elizabeth.My grandfather was John B. Merritt.

I am looking for information about the Merritt family in the Lucedale, MS area. Mary Merritt was born on Jan 25, 1855 in MS. Her mother was a Creek Indian by the name of Sena(rhymes with Tina). Sena married ? Merritt. Their daughter Mary came to Mobile, AL and married John Lins, who served in the Civil War. Mary Merritt would ride a carriage to see her family in MS. Any help with tracing my Indian heritage would be appreciated. I also want to find out the name of the Merritt father of Mary.

I would like to share info on the Merritt family...I am related through Rhuanna GIBSON Merritt, Mary's mother.
