    3. "I can remember my cousin (1st-once removed) bringing a 50-pound sack of DeMerchant potatoes every time he came for a visit to our area." This is bringing back memories for me too. I remember my big brother Joe, oldest of 4 brothers, bringing me a bag of Tassie potatoes when he went home to visit Mum and Dad. I couldn't bring myself to eat them all, or to waste them either, so I planted them and grew my own!! ;D Take care, Rob.

    3. This discussion about potatoes and who grows them would actually be part of the geneaological discussion, as the DeMerchant that I mention married an Armstrong. Elizabeth Armstrong, daughter of Stillman Armstrong and Maria Lovely, married Nimrod DeMerchant circa 1860 in Perth, New Brunswick.

    3. Ben, did you make those names up? I got a kick out of Ms. Lovely and her daughter marrying somebody named "Nimrod."
