I am reading this to be: Merit Erskine Abbott +m Marion Bartlett. They had issue, Stella Merit Abbott whom +m Harry O. Duerr. If so, I believe that Marion was the daughter of Nathan BARTLETT and Sally Ann______(or Sarah). It is possible that Sally Ann's maiden name was OLEPHANT. They were members of the Moravian Church in Bethlehem, although they were b. in NJ. Their other children were: Eayre O., William Olephant, Belle, Helena, Annie O., and Mary. (could be others I haven't found). I am VERY interested to hook up on any researchers looking into this particular Bartlett family and/or their allied lines in the Northampton/Lehigh Co., PA area. Penny allied lines: (Bartlett/Olephant/Benner/Keim/Boehler/Anstett My theory is that Eayre O. Bartlett b. m+ Mary Benner (dau. of Elias Benner). Their dau., Alice Jane Bartlett b. 1863 m+ Jacob Milton KEIM b. 1853 (this is a theory and NOT yet confirmed).
