Her name is Mary Merritt-b.25 Jan 1855 and died on 26 Apr 1924 in Mobile, AL- buried in New Hope Cemetary. She married John Lins and is found in Mobile on the 1880's census. The family believes the Merritts were from Mississippi. John Lins was from Prussia and served in the Civil War. Any help with the Merritt side appreciated.
