I read your message without noting the 1803. Really. Just the big DOB and then what I knew to be Eliza's death date. I have not checked my hard files to see if I have a copy of a bible record owned by Richard L. Merritt. Why did you think he gave the copy to Beulah Fenimore. I am certain that the bible record I have is directly from Beulah's mother. However, I do know that there was a lot of correspondence between Merritt/Fenimore families in that generation. My Aunt Beulah died in 1951. She was born in 1862. During that long life she reportedly did a lot of "family work" but I have never been able to find it. Perhaps the reference to Jessie Miller will mean something to you. I'm going back to re-reading your message and hope to hear from you again. Regards, Georgia
