I'm looking for any information regarding Eliza Ann Merritt Lea, born on February 2, 1819, in Clermont County. I understand part of this county was changed to Brown County in 1818, but I don't know exactly where Eliza lived. Eliza's father was Thomas Merritt, born October 23, 1773 in Amherst County, Virginia. Her mother was Morning Mahoney Merritt, also born in Amherst County, Virginia on February 4, 1785. Eliza had a number of siblings: Lucy W., James J., John H., Sarah L., William K., Martha Ann, Mary P., Signthia Jane, Katherine M., and George W. Mary P. was also born in Clermont County May 20, 1817. Signthia Jane and Katherine M. were born in Hamilton County, Ohio in 1821 and 1823. George W. was born in Cincinnati in 1826. Eliza was married to Charles Lea. I don't have any informaton about Charles. Any light that can be shed on any of these people would be wonderful. Thanks! Nan nancyh@cvc.net
