Looking for descendants of Paul Mersereau and his second wife, Martha Kemp. Paul was born possibly on Staten Island, NY in 1737 and died either in New Brunswick or Staten Island on April 22, 1808. At this point we do not know who his parent are. Paul married first, Frances Marshall on Staten Island, NY, March 17, 1756. Then married Margaret Kemp with bonds posted in New York on November 26, 1778. Paul was a widow, married Margaret and moved to NB. David Mersereau was living with his step mother, Margaret Kemp in the year 1814. Paul was a loyalist and first moved to Beaver Harbor, Charlotte Co. NB. On Aug. 10, 1785 their was land sold at Wickham, Queens Co., NB. He arrived on part of the "June Fleet" on the ship "Dutchess of Gordon". Paul Mersereau, Sr. received Parrtown Lot 1102. Paul Mersereau, Jr. received Parrtown Lot No. 1096. On Sept. 27th, 1795, Paul Sr, and sons, Paul Jr. David of Wickham Parish, Queens Co petitioned for 800 acres in Queens Co. Paul Mersereau, Jr. of St. John City sold lot 39 Long Reach, Greenwich Parish, Kings Co. to Hugh Brown of St. John on NOv. 8th, 1785. Paul received 200 acres adjoing his brother David's lot in Wickham Parish, Queens Co, NB on Aug. 17th 1816. We are descendants of Paul Sr. and Frances Marshall through their daughter, Martha Mersereau, the sister of Paul, Jr., David, and John. Martha Mersereau married Amos Rooke of Staten Island and went with this group to NB, but returned to Staten Island, NY after about 5 years. We would love to connect with any descendants of this line of Mersereaus. Thanks! Jana Rooke
