- W1874430772 abstract "Samuel Merrill, born October 29, 1792, in Peacham, Vermont, and died in Indianapolis, August 24, 1855, was the second son of Jesse and Priscilla Merrill. The first American Merrill was a Puritan who left England in 1637, and settled the next year in Ipswich, Massachusetts. His name was Nathaniel. His descend ants in a direct line to the subject of the present notice, were Abel, Nathaniel, Samuel, Samuel and Jesse. The second Samuel lost his father when very young, and seems to have been thrown entirely on his own resources; which, however, were sufficient. By farm ing and lumbering he acquired a handsome property. He joined the Revolutionary army during Burgoyne's invasion, and as cap tain of a company, was present at the surrender at Saratoga. The following paragraph from a private letter written by a granddaughter of Captain Merrill gives something of his char acter, as well as that of his wife: Our grandfather was a man of a good deal of energy and independence of character, with great firmness and tenacity of pur pose. Of course, this made an enterprising man. Such he was. His business extended over much of New Hampshire and Ver mont. Withal he was eminently social, quick at repartee, a most genial companion, and not wanting in the little comities of life. Now, if you have known in any of his descendants, a something of the severe (not sour or morose, hardly indeed severe) with an apparent determination not to be driven to talk, and an ability to> confer with one's self, notwithstanding surroundings, added to all a sarcasm seldom used, but always ready and keen as 'Damascene blade/ making the flesh to quiver at the thought of it, I say when you find these traits, it is their inheritance from Abigail Eaton, the wife of Samuel Merrill, a woman of great excellence of character and propriety of manner, of whom all the world were ready to aver that she never uttered a wrong or useless word." @default.
