Mary "Polly" Merrill was daughter of Benjamin Merrill of Lincoln Co., TN, mentioned in his will of June 1829. My census research suggests that Mary was born shortly after 1800 census. I do not have the names of any of Polly's children. Jane, b. 1813, would seem to be Joseph's daughter by another marriage, unless Polly married at age 13. I specifically need information that proves Garrett Merrill is the son of Benjamin Merrill. He was a witness to the will of his father but not mentioned in it.
