Thank you, Joan, for posting the following: "Source, The Poultney Journal--Fri. Feb. 14, 1919. EAST POULTNEY, VT. Miss Marion G. Bliss spent the weekend with Mrs. Clarence Coon at Castleton Corners. E. W. Merriman visited relatives in Fort Edward, N. Y., last week." Ellett Willard Merriman was my wife's grandfather. He was born in 1858 in Jackson, Washington County, New York, the son of William James Merryman and Rebecca Ann Willard. I have been trying to trace this family line back further with very little luck. I do know that Rebecca's mother was Betsy Leigh, but little else. Can anyone help?
