I've "rescued" an old photograph of Annie Elizabeth MERRILL taken at the
S.L. PREBLE Studio in Waterville, Maine in 1894. Annie appears to be in her
20's or 30's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited
research I believe this may be a photograph of Annie E. MERRILL b. 1864 in
Maine to parents James F. MERRILL and Angelette MERRILL.
The family was included in the 1880 census of Pittston, ME including Annie
and 3 brothers, Marcus T., Weston J., and Arthur MERRILL all born in ME
between 1867-1877. In addition to the photograph of Annie I also recovered
a photograph of Melville E. FREEMAN taken at the same studio. I don't know
that there is a connection, however, I mention it just in case it is a clue.
MERRILL Family researchers have also provided the following information:
If this is the right Annie, her lineage is James F (8),
Enoch (7), John (6), Abel (5), John (4), Nathan (3), Abel (2), Nathaniel
(1).
This Annie E, according to the Merrill Genealogy at the ME State Library, m.
George CARVER. We do not have a m. date or anything on her children. She d.
after 1930.
I'm hoping to locate someone from this MERRILL Family so that the photograph
can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of
this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
