JOHN2
MERRILL (Nathaniel1)
was born about 1635 in Newbury, Mass., and died 18 July,
1712, in Hartford, Conn. He settled in Hartford as early
as 1657, in which year (see eupra pp. 78-84.)
he became an owner of land there. It is probable that
he went to Hartford before coming of age, for he is said
to have been adopted by Gregory Wilterton of that town.
(See 1.)
He was admitted a freeman 20 May, 1658. He was a tanner,
and lived on the south side of Elm St., on the second
lot west from the corner of Main St. After some years
he removed to the West Division of the town, now West
Hartford, where he made large purchases of land in 1683
and the following years. In 1684, 1694 and 1700 he was
a "townsman," or selectman, and he was a deacon
of the Second Church. He married, 23 Sept. 1663, Sarah
Watson, daughter of John and Margaret (Smith) Watson of
Hartford. His eight sons and two daughters, and the daughters
'husbands. were all living at his death. Children, born
in Hartford:
