Could Miles have actually been his middle name and when he died his first name was used on the death records?? Have you tracked all the children? Is there a possibility if one child moved out of state he followed in his old age and died in that town instead of Ohio?? Just thoughts!

So if he died in the gap period it might not appear. However the FamilySearch.labs site (which you have to register for, but is free and not associated with Ancestry.com)has Ohio Death Certificates from 1909 to 1953. This surely should have him assuming he didn't live to be older than 107. But I can't find him on it, though several of his children are. So I wonder if perhaps he went by a nickname? Also I find him as Miles A Merchant, so what was his middle name? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

John Merchant died 21 Oct 1940. I have look everywhere and it seems Miles just vanished. I know from his son's obituary he died prior to 1940 and the census of 1920 still has him listed. I don't know where else to look. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

That is a point of reference to start with. Also I believe Ancestry.com which I don't have a subscription too has Ohio death records up to I believe 1958. You could make a specific request with subject line "Ancestry.com Ohio Death lookup date" then in the body of message give Rev. Merchant's Birthdate and last known place of residence. Someone out there with a subscription to ancestry.com is bound to help you. I checked the Ohio Death Index online up to 1937 and did not find him. Unless he was still a young man and applied for Social Security in the 1930's then he would would have an application on file with social Security administration but I don't know when the Rev. was born so that is only a theory.

But there is nothing in the columbus city directory prior to the marriage. I was trying to find out when he moved from Fort Gains GA to Columbus, OH. There is nothing stating that he lived at 263 McDowell except on his marriage record. I can't fine anything. So I went to the court house and found who owned the property and that was no help.

Unfortunately I haven't so far found his death date either. I have seen him in every census from 1860 to 1920 usually in Norwich Twp., Franklin Co., OH (Hilliards). But while I've found death certificates for several of his children, including John, I haven't found a death date for Miles. It appears his wife Alice died between 1900 and 1910 and that they had 15 children. It also appears Miles' father was b ~1801 VA and was named something like Yammer Merchant.
