I don't have anything on the Merritts except that Susan Mary Merritt married Mathew G. Hilton. I have been researching the Hiltons and had not branched out to the Merrits.

If you are ever up to Springfield and have the time, stop my T. J. Maxx store and look for up. I am over the jewelry department. I am easy to find. Let me know what you are looking for and send me your address and I can send you some print outs. Oh by the way the rhubarb is raw in the recipe.
