    Notes:

    William Merrick was born in Duxbur, Wales in 1602. He was the oldest of the four brothers who reached Charlestown on the good ship "James" in the spring of 1636.

    Nothing is recorded of his early life. After reaching the Colony in 1636, he was a farmer by occupation. He was inclined toward the military life, as he served for six years under Captain Myles Standish, first as an Ensign and later as a Lieutenant.

    He married in 1642 at Eastham, Massachusetts to Rebecca Tracy, born 1623/1624 in Plymouth, Maine, daughter of Stephen Tracy. They had ten children. He died in Eastham, Maine, in his will, proved March of 1688, he was described as 88 years of age.

    Lieutenant William Merrick, the eldest of the four immigrant brothers, was born in Wales in 1603, and came to Charlestown, Massachusetts in the ship "James" in the spring of 1636. Nothing is known of his early life; he was a farmer after arriving in Massachusetts. He served six years after his arrival in the colony, in the colonial militia under Captain Miles Standish, and is mentioned in the records as an ensign, and later as a lieutenant. "That he gave all his time and attention to his military duties seems to be indicated by the fact that he was not married until 1642, which was at the end of his six year term of service. He appears to have had property both at Eastham and Duxbury. He was probably married at Eastham, but the destruction of a part of the book of records of that town renders it impossible to determine this fact definitely. He certainly lived in both Eastham and Duxbury, within the decade between 1637 and 1647, as some of his children were born at Eastham during that time, and yet he is reported as being a citizen of Duxbury in 1636, when he was allotted five acres of land "Next the Glade at Powder Point." In 1637 he was allotted another twenty acres at Great Head. He was one of the original proprietors of Bridgewater. He was surveyor of highways in 1646, and constable in 1647. May 22, 1655, he became a legal voter in Eastham, and took up his permanent residence there. Paige, in his history of Hardwick says: "William Merrick, the father, was a lieutenant, residing in Eastham. In his will, dated December 3, 1686, and proved March 6, 1689, he is described as about 86 years of age, by which it would seem that he was about fourty-three years old when the first of his ten children was born, and he might seem to be the grandfather of this family rather than the father, were it not that he names his wife Rebecca and his children, Stephen and William, in his will." Source:Mayflower Descendant, p. 10:8, also mentions "My Grand Child Ruth ffreeman".
