Denise,
William Merrick and Mary N. Funkhouser were my GGGG Grandparents. Their daughter Jennie,
born in 1869 right before her mother Mary passed away, was my GGG Grandma. Jennie G.
Merrick married Willaim Moses Rice, and their daughter Nellie Rosetta Rice was my GG
Grandmother. Nellie married Charles John Stauffer, and their daughter Inace Jenny
Stauffer was my Great Grandma. Anyways, that is my connection. I am working on
researching the Merrick/Funkhouser family right now, but I would be glad to share what I
have with you. This family moved around some, and in fact were found in two different
censuses in 1850, one in Jackson, Ripley, Indiana with Mary Funkhouser's family, and
one in Aurora, Dearborn, Indiana with who I am assuming were William Merrick's parents
and siblings. (I still need to check on that) I know some of William and Mary's
children were born in Indiana, some were born in Iowa, and some were born in Illinois.
Like I said, I am still working on this family, b!
ut I would love to collaborate and share what I have!
