Merriam Genealogy in England and America Including the Genealogical Memoranda Of Charles Pierce Merriam the Collections of James Sheldon Merriam Etc - Classic Reprint
Author: Charles Henry Pope

Excerpt from Merriam Genealogy in England and America: Including the "Genealogical Memoranda" Of Charles Pierce Merriam, the Collections of James Sheldon Merriam, Etc — The impulse to make this book came from one who was born in New England, but long resident in Old England, Mr. Charles Pierce Merriam, whose personal biography is written in its o... more »rder at No. 1010. Not content with having spent more than a thousand dollars and much labor of investigation and supervision of others' work in the production of an exhaustive presentation of the documentary history of the Merriams of Kent, he felt a desire to see a genealogy of the American family and was ready to bear a good share in the cost of securing it. So when he and Mrs. Merriam were in Boston on a visit in November, 1905, he inquired for a suitable person to compile and publish such a work, and in a few weeks had organized a committee and outlined a course of procedure, leaving his Good Samaritan payment when he sailed, as the nucleus of a fund and a token of the generous financial aid he was to give in succeeding months.

The committee who ventured upon and have carried through this enterprise, advancing money and giving their influence and advice freely, are:

Charles Pierce Merriam, of London, chairman.

John McKinstry Merriam, of South Framingham and Boston, secretary and treasurer.

Henry Harrison Merriam, of Worcester.

Charles Merriam, 2d, of Weston.

Joseph Merriam, of Middletown, Ct.

Through all the agencies of correspondence and research known to the genealogical profession the work was undertaken by the compiler without delay; and scores of willing responses came from mothers and fathers and sisters and brothers of the broad family, supplying the information needed to supplement that derived from published books and public records.
