1810 Bedford Co., VA Census... no MERRITTs listed as that spelling.. only these listed in Bedford Co in that year [the pages are horrible to read... very smeared!] MERRET, Major... this was listed on the index, but I've gone through 4 times and I can't read one that says MAJOR. MERRET, Wruford, - - - - - / - 1 - - 1 1830 Bedford Co., VA MERRITT, Samuel I tried soundex, and these are all I found for MERRITT, MERRET, MARRIOTT, MARIOTT... I was very interested in these as well since I am descended from MARIOTT for KY>AR. Lanita
