    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.

    Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire: a record of the achievements of her people in the making of a commonwealth and the founding of a nation.
    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".

    Springfield
    After the destruction of the jail, or prison, when Springfield was burned by Indians in 1675, there was no place in the county for the confinement of prisoners and it must be remembered that till 1730, Hampshire County included nearly all of western Massachusetts. On January 10, 1677, the County Court, in session at Northampton, ordered a new prison and house of correction to be built in Springfield, at an expense as near £50 as was possible and not more than £55. Major Pynchon selected a site on Main street, on the west side, where the hotel called the Union House was later built. It was a building of two stories, twenty-five by eighteen feet. One room, with several closets, occupied all of the first floor, and on the second floor were three rooms. The walls and the partitions between the rooms, were of very heavy oak planks, and although such a prison would easily be broken by the skilled mechanics who belong to the criminal class of this century, it was then regarded as being entirely satisfactory and safe. For many years this was the only place of confinement in the county, for the great variety of offenders who were declared to be criminals by the queer laws of those days, and it was the place of confinement for the southern part of the county for 114 years. No deed to the property was given by Samuel Ely or by Thomas Merrick, from whom it was purchased by Major Pynchon for the county, till 1683, and 1684, respectively. The house for the jail-keeper stood on the same lot with the jail.

    The Sarah Mirricke/Myrick who married John Atkinson (1636-1715) in Newbury did so in 1664 [Torrey; Newbury VR 2:20 (John Atkins/Attkinson and Sara Mirricke)], not 1646, and thus is unlikely to be a sister to Thomas.
