There is family tree info posted on
Ancestry.com that states Merrit's parents were
William & Mary (Arnold) Cleveland. They had a total of 14 children and some of the
children's names appear to be the source of some later generations names, such as
Miles (Lemuel Miles), William (William Merrit), Merritt & Orin (Oren David)
I hope this info helps................Karen
