    Dorchester Merrick died at Hookerville Texas,
    HOOKERVILLE, TEXAS. Hookerville was on the banks of Hooker Creek on the edge of the Blackland Prairie six miles west of Caldwell, Texas in western Burleson County. Settlement in the county north of the Old San Antonio Road began in the late 1830s. During the 1850s the family of John W. Porter established an extensive plantation on a tributary of Hooker Creek; it became the nucleus of a community called Porter's Chapel. A sawmill operated on Hooker Creek during the early phases of settlement. After the Civil War the Porter's Chapel community became known as Hookerville-named, as was the nearby creek, for an early settler. A post office operated there from 1878 until 1912, after which mail was routed through Chriesman. In 1885 Hookerville reported a population of 130 and a school, a church, a gristmill, and a cotton gin. The town was bypassed by State Highway 21 and the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway. In the late 1980s the Porters Chapel and cemetery and the Liberty Church were still in the area.

    At this time I am looking for Porter's Chapel/cemetery. According to the Texas State Handbook, The cemetery is located on County Road 319, near County Road 318.

    Note:
    New York MILITIA
    The militia normally provided support in skirmishes and battles in their area and controlled areas that would of otherwise have fallen to the British. They could be called upon at any time, for any length of time, but could be required to serve only three months out of state.

    Any able-bodied man had to serve when "warned" unless he was incapacitated. If incapacitated he had to contribute toward furnishing and equipping another man.

    Col. Jacobus Van Schoonhoven, who commanded the 12th NY Regiment, Albany Company is listed as taking part in the Battles of Saratoga. I'm assuming at this point that Stephen's company was there. The leadership and probably the rank and file were drawn from the Balls Town (Balston) and Half Moon, NY area Saratoga County.

    I also find it very interesting that Stephen's brother William moved and founded the town of Merrickville, Canada. Stephen's 2nd marriage produced a child, Dorchester, born 1802, Canada. Perhaps Stephen migrated at one point to Merrickville to work with his successful brother, William, in his mills. In the Loyalist of Ontario, Canada I found a listing that Jemima Davies married a Merrick in early 1800.

    In the 1790 US Census, Ballstown, Albany, IN William (who I am proposing is Stephen's father) and William's brothers Charles and Thomas are all shown.
