 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Here are the throngs descended from strong Walter, 
 No neck among them ever felt the halter ; 
 They've sailed the seas from Hong Kong to Gibraltar, 
 On plain and hill have reared the home and altar — 
 Typhoon and blizzard never made them falter ! 
 Some clans get fresh, our clan is growing salter. 
 Read well this book, and thank the Lord for Walter. 
 
 Chas. N. Sinnett. 
 Edmore, North Dakota, 
 
 Thanksgiving Day, 1905. 
 
 The account of our Ancestor Walter Merryman varies but 
 little among his descendants. He was kidnapped in an Irish 
 port early in 1700 and brought to Boston, Mass. Here his 
 so-called "passage money" was paid by a Mr. Simonton of 
 Cape Elizabeth, Me., who faithfully taught him the ship 
 carpenter's trade, near Portland. Both these men were 
 sturdy Presbyterians and their good influence is seen unto 
 the last generations of both families. 
 
 Mr. George F. Henley of South Portland, Me., writes me 
 as follows: "I went with your grandfather, Capt. James 
 Sinnett of Bailey's Island, Harpswell, Me., to see what we 
 could learn about Ancestor Walter Merryman. We visited 
 some old people, of Simonton descent, and were confirmed in 
 our story of our Merryman ancestor, and that he remained 
 with him some seven years." 
 
 Ancestor Walter Merryman married Elizabeth Potter and 
 moved to the old farm not far above the Harpswell Center 
 (Me.) Church. He was one of the most upright and sturdy 
 of the early settlers of the town. The coat-of-arms of the 
 Merrymans shows that the family was one of valor and

 -worth across the seas. Some claim his ancestors were 
 Scotch ; others say they were English. It is the purpose of 
 the anthor of this book to collect all early history of the 
 Merrymans as soon as possible, and he will be very grateful 
 for any help in this important work. The results of this 
 research will be sent to all who are interested in the family 
 history. 
 
 Elizabeth Potter was descended from Anthony Potter, b. 
 in P^ngland, 1628. and came to Ipswich, Mass., 1688. He 
 married Elizabeth Whipple. 
 
 Samuel Potter, son of this ancestor, married Joanna 
 Woods. 
 
 David Potter, son of Samuel, was born at Ipswich, Mass., 
 March 27, 1685, and married Mary Merriam.of Lynn, Mass. 
 In 1738 David Potter moved to Topsham, Me., with his three 
 sous, William, James and Alexander. Elizabeth Potter is 
 claimed to have been the daughter of David Potter and 
 Mary Merriam. Nothing further has been found, save the 
 well-known fact that this was a family of sturdy faith and 
 deeds. 
 
 The sons of Ancestor Walter Merryman and Elizabeth 
 Potter will each be traced in a separate section in the fol- 
 lowing pages. Of the daughters, 
 
 (2) Frances Merryman m., in Jan., 1766, Andrew Jack 
 of the celebrated Scotch-Irish colony at Topsham, 
 Me. 
 
 (2) Miriam ]\Ierryman m. Robert Potter of Topsham, INIe. 
 
 (2) Mary Merryman m. Jonathan Weymouth, Dec. 14, 
 1775. 
 
 The author has many records of the descendants of these 
 daughters, which will be given in the history of the families 
 into which they married, as I am preparing a history of all 
 the old families of Harpswell, Brunswick, Topsham, Bow- 
 doinham, Bowdoin, etc. 
 
 Many thanks to the scores of people who have so kindly 
 helped in the preparation of this book.

 (3) Thomas Merryman, b. 1765; d. Jan. 19, 1827 (62y.) ; m., April

 (4) Timothy Merryman, b. Nov. 16, 1786; d. Mercer, 111., 
 
 April 19, 1873. "He was a faithful member of the Bap- 
 
MERRYMAN GENEALOGY. 7 
 
 tist church at Moline, 111., and his children united with 
 that church. He was rather a stout man, about five feet, 
 eight inches, in height. A steady-going, hard-working 
 man, and not very much of a talker. In Maine he was a 
 ship carpenter by trade. He enlisted in the 1812 War. 
 He was either an oflRcer or had the promise of being one. 
 His old record was well kept in the Illinois home. The 
 war closed before he could do any service. Soon after 
 his marriage he moved to Chesterville, Me., and all of 
 his children were born in that town. 
 
 "In November, 1837, he moved to a farm in Mercer 
 County, 111., at Richland Grove on the Edwards River. 
 On the stream he built a sawmill, which he and his boys 
 ran in connection with the farm, mostly sawing hard- 
 wood lumber for themselves and their neighbors." 
 
 One who lived near says: "I had reason to feel proud 
 of our relation to Timothy Merryman, as I glance back 
 over the early settlement of Illinois. I was acquainted 
 with each member of the family and knew their sterling 
 qualities as pioneers in that great state, where they were 
 always found on the side of the church and school and 
 the building up of society and good citizenship. As most 
 of the family were good vocal and instrumental musi- 
 cians, they helped in scores of ways. The family was 
 one of excellent habits. All the children had strong con- 
 stitutions and lived to a good old age., They were sturdy 
 Republicans." 
 
 The son, Timothy Dunning Merryman, of Los Angeles, 
 Cal., says of the trip to Illinois: "In 1837,v my mother, 
 brothers, Ira and David, and sisters, Thirza and Eliza- 
 beth, and myself, started from Chesterville, Me., in a 
 two-horse wagon. At Wheeling, Va., mother, brother 
 Ira and sister Thirza, took a steamboat down the Ohio 
 River and up the Mississippi to Rock Island, 111., while 
 Elizabeth, David and myself kept on by land to our new 
 home. So I have traveled the whole breadth of the con- 
 tinent with team and wagon."

 (5) Robert Wilson Merryman, b. Bowdoin, Me., May 2, 1829; 
 d. April 21, 1894. "His parents were respectable and 
 well-to-do farming people. He was reared to agricul- 
 tural pursuits, and attended the common schools of 
 Bowdoin, Me. But at an early age he laid aside his 
 books and commenced the active duties of life. He 
 and his brother, Andrew C, having taken up the ship 
 building industry, he learned the trade and worked in 
 the shipyards of Pittston, Me., in 1855. The eastern 
 lumbermen were then being attracted to the pine for- 
 ests of Wisconsin. He went to that state, first locating 
 at Fond du Lac, where he became associated with his 
 brother, A. C, and Haynes Hunter, under the firm 
 name, Merryman & Co., lumber manufacturers. Later, 
 also, at Fond du Lac, these Merryman brothers asso- 
 ciated themselves with John S. and Alexander McDon- 
 ald, also Maine lumbermen and pioneer manufacturers 
 of Wisconsin. R. W. Merryman remained at Fond du 
 Lac until 1873; then went to Marinette, Wis., and 
 fouDded the R. W. Merryman Lumber Co., with which 
 
42 MERRYMAN GENEALOGY. 
 
 he was connected, as its official head, until his death, 
 April 21, 1894. For several years prior to his death, 
 however, the management was for the most part en- 
 trusted to his nephew, R. C. Merryman, who has since 
 continued its management. He entertained a paternal 
 fondness for this nephew, many of the early years of 
 whose life were passed in this uncle's house, where he 
 was treated as a member of the family. Before his 
 death he and his wife travelled considerably, often 
 accompanied by friends in the capacity of guests. It 
 was while he was returning from a trip through Flor- 
 ida that he was seized with a serious illness which ter- 
 minated fatally at Lookout Mountain. He was a 
 shrewd and thrifty man, greatly beloved by his friends 
 and employees and widely esteemed for his unswerving 
 integrity, strict honesty and admirable business meth- 
 ods. He substantially aided Marinette. He accumu- 
 lated a comfortable competence, mainly of extensive 
 investments in timber lands and profitable manufactur- 
 ing operations. Religiously he was originally a Bap- 
 tist, but, with his advancing years, his ideas trended 
 to Universalism, in which faith he died. In political 
 affiliations he was always a Republican, ever loyal to 
 his party, but never at any time an office seeker." M., 
 March 18, 1858, Carrie A. Colburn of Pittston, Me.; she 
 was the daughter of Capt. Reuben Colburn; she is held 
 in the highest esteem by all in Marinette, Wis.; no 
 children. 
 (5) Andrew Curtiss Merryman, b. Bowdoin, Me., Dec. 22, 
 1831; d. of pneumonia at Exeter, Cal., 1905. He was 
 one of the best known lumbermen of Wisconsin, and 
 was a familiar person to most lumbermen in Northern 
 Wisconsin, as well as in Chicago and Maine, having 
 for the last 49 years been most actively engaged in the 
 lumber manufacture in Wisconsin. The boyhood am- 
 bition of Mr. Merryman was of the most practical kind. 
 He did not believe that the road to wealth and position 
 could be travelled rapidly, but he determined to labor 
 faithfully and diligently and rise above the conditions 
 which surrounded him. When scarcely 17 years of 
 age he began to work at shipbuilding at Middle Bay, 
 Brunswick, Me., with Capt. Richard McManus, and soon 
 became a competent shipwright. In 1855 he built the 
 brig A. C. Merryman at Pittston, Me., and launched 
 upon the business on his own account. When business 
 
MERRYMAN GENEALOGY. 43 
 
 depressions came in Maine he sturdily determined to 
 seek a new field of labor. In 1855 he went to Fond 
 du Lac, Wis., and although he had no practical experi- 
 ence in that line, he at once made preparations for 
 prosecuting the lumber business. With but little cap- 
 ital he went into the dense forests of pine, entering, 
 preempting and homesteading lands and laying solid 
 foundations for future operations. He at once entered 
 into the sawmill business at Fond du Lac and most 
 successfully carried it on for 10 years. In 18GG he 
 sold these interests to his brother, R. W. Merryman, 
 and removed to Marinette, Wis., as a member of the 
 firm of Hamilton, Merryinan & Co., which purchased 
 62,000 acres of government land and built a large mill 
 in 1868. From time to time the firm has added to this 
 original purchase of land. The company has become 
 one of the largest and most successful of the immense 
 lumber manufacturing establishments along the Me- 
 nominee River. From 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 feet of 
 lumber is annually turned from timber on the stump 
 to finished lumber at the mill. This is carried by the 
 company's boats to Chicago, where its larger distribut- 
 ing yard is located. Up to the last, Mr. Merryman took 
 an active part in this work, as well as in all the various 
 strong enterprises in which he was helpful. He was 
 interested in many paper and pulp mills and owned 
 thousands of acres of standing timber in the red cedar 
 country of the West. He was also an extensive orange 
 grower and had large ranches at Exeter, Cal., where, 
 in late years, he spent most of his winters. 
 
 Mr. Merryman was at all times prominent in Mar- 
 inette affairs and has been closely identified with Mar- 
 inette industries and municipal work since his resi- 
 dence in the city. He has been prominently identified 
 with the Menominee & Marinette Paper Co., the A. W. 
 Stevens Co., the Menominee River Fire Tug Co., the 
 Merryman Manufacturing Co., the Menominee River 
 Broom Co., the Marinette Flour Mill Co., the Watson 
 Heating Co., the Menominee & Marinette Light and 
 Traction Co., the Menominee Sugar Co. and the Oak- 
 wood Club. He attended personally to the details of 
 most of his business. Unless it was absolutely impos- 
 sible for him to be present, he was never known to 
 miss a meeting of one of the companies in which he 
 was a stockholder. Nevertheless, with all these busi- 
 
44 MERRYMAN GENEALOGY. 
 
 ness cares, he never forgot his family or friends. He 
 was a model husband and father and neglected no 
 slightest thing which would add to the comfort and 
 pleasure of his family. With his friends he was 
 known, as in his business, as a man of his word, and 
 the expression, "His word is as good as his bond," has 
 often been used in speaking of him. He was very fond 
 of entertainment and loved to have his home full of 
 happy friends. 
 
 Mr. Merryman was a great lover of nature and out- 
 of-door life. There was nothing too small in woods or 
 field to be beneath his notice, and on his hunting trips 
 and excursions he would spend a large share of his 
 time in looking up curios and relics. Every year he 
 would take a party of his friends to Beechwood, his 
 private hunting and fishing grounds, near Florence, on 
 the Northwestern branch road, and would entertain 
 them in royal style. Mr. Merryman was a thoroughly 
 moral man and his friends who accompanied him on 
 his camping and hunting trips, where all restraint was 
 laid aside, often remarked of his cleanliness and man- 
 liness in all things. The men who rowed his boats 
 while he was fishing were as carefully looked after as 
 his guests and were never overworked or ill-treated. 
 His charitable work and sympathy for those in suffer- 
 ing and need is known to all. He never used liquor or 
 tobacco and was strongly affiliated with the Prohibition 
 party and was nominated by that party for its high 
 positions of trust and honor. M. (first), Oct. 30, 18G2,

 (4) Joseph Merriman, b. Hartford, Ct., Oct. 27, 1815; d. Sept. 
 7, 1895. "He got his education in the little temple of 
 learning, removed a' generation or more ago, on Market 
 Street, then called Dorr Street, Jesse Olney, pedagogue, 
 and Flavins A. Bi'own, writing master. His father was 
 lost at sea when he was 18 years old. He started working 
 in a general store for $25 a year and board. A year later 
 he was employed by Lester Sexton, a Bridge Street 
 clothier, for $75 a year and board. Mr. Merriman said 
 with a smile, when giving the story of this, 'I've never 
 seen anything since which seemed so large as that $25.' 
 Mr. Merriman bought out the stock of this last employer, 
 giving notes, and commenced business without capital. 
 He was four years in business before he made a cent. 
 In the next year he made $1,000 clear of expenses. In 
 1840 he removed to State Street. Until 1851 he was in 
 the retail clothing business exclusively, and later was 
 in the wholesale clothing business on Asylum Street, 
 Hartford, Ct., also having a store in New York City. 
 He continued in active business until 1873. In the 39 
 years, when he was in business, Mr. Merriman never 
 asked for the extension of a note or paid less than 100 
 cents on a dollar. He did this in spite of the panics of 
 1857 and 1873. In insurance, banking and real estate 
 
MERRYMAN GENEALOGY. 83 
 
 business Mr. Merriman often proved the value of his 
 judgment. In 1854 the late Henry Kellogg, in organizing 
 the Phoenix Insurance Company, came early to consult 
 with him, and he was chosen a member of the first 
 board of directors and held that position a long time. 
 Mr. Merriman was for some years a director of the 
 Aetna National Bank. At various times he greatly 
 helped to develop realty In Hartford and East Hartford, 
 and elsewhere. In 1854, when the old Whig party was 
 giving place to the Republican party, Mr. Merriman be- 
 came interested in politics. When Fremont ran against 
 Buchanan, Mr. Merriman took charge of the campaign 
 in Hartford, conducting meetings in schoolhouses with 
 Joseph P. Hawley and others. In 18G4 he was chosen 
 state senator. He was also selectman and town auditor."

 The Brunswick, Me., School Report for 1899 says: 
 "The schools of Brunswick, Me., were much shocked 
 by the death of this beloved teacher. Her service in 
 our schools was briefly as follows: She began as an 
 assistant in the Center Street Primary School in the 
 fall of 1876, and her work there was so good as to 
 obtain a favorable mention in the school report of 
 that year. In the fall of 1877 she was chosen prin- 
 cipal of that school. In 1881 she became assistant 
 in the Intermediate School and the very next year 
 was promoted to the Grammar School, where she re- 
 mained until her death. The impression which she 
 always made of physical strength and vigor made her 
 sudden death all the more startling. It is difficult 
 to sum up her work in a few words but the present 
 generation will need no such summing up. She will 
 remain in the minds of her pupils through life, as an 
 untiring, unselfish, intelligent worker for the highest 
 good."

APPENDIX. 
 
 Note 1. — Mr. Timothy Dunning Merryman's account of his trip 
 over the Plains: "We crossed the Mississippi River Sept. 5, 1853, 
 with a train of 12 wdgons, one of these drawn by five yoke of 
 oxen and having two drivers to each. Two horses were attached 
 to each of our 12 wagons. In our party were 30 men and 24 
 women and children. We travelled through Iowa and Missouri 
 without trouble and camped on the banks of the Missouri River, 
 at the point where St. Joseph now stands, for a few days. Early 
 in May I was sent across the Missouri River into the Indian Ter- 
 ritory which was all the land west of the river then, to see how 
 the pasturage was. I saw a sight which made by blood boil. A 
 negro boy had attempted to escape to freedom and several men 
 caught him with ropes, like a wild beast. They took him back 
 to slavery and I could only pity him. I went out ten or fifteen 
 miles and returned with the report that the grass was good, and 
 on May 5 we started across the river for the land of the Indians 
 and buffalo. Our company chose a captain, whose name was 
 Andrew Perrine. He had crossed the Plains in '49. His duty 
 was to go before the train in the afternoon and field a suitable 
 camping place, with plenty of water and grass. We would halt 
 about two hours before sunset, turn loose the stock and prepare 
 meals and beds for the night. Then the men were organized into 
 guards, three men in each guard, and three changes each night, 
 so that each man must guard every third or fourth night for 
 three or four hours. This guard was to keep a sharp lookout for 
 the Indians. We travelled across the country along the South 
 Platte River to old Fort Henry, then to Fort Laramie and thence 
 through the Black Hills to the Sweet Water River. At a place 
 called Devil's Gap I had the misfortune to break my wrist. There 
 was no doctor in the train, but though we thought we had set it 
 all right it has troubled me ever since. We crossed the divide 
 in the Rocky Mountains, called the South Pass, where the waters 
 flow eastward to the Mississippi River and westward to the 
 Pacific Ocean. Very soon the Great American desert was reached 
 and this was the worst part of the journey. Lack of water, 
 scorching heat, night travel and reptiles were not pleasant. The 
 sage bush, which we encountered next, was very disagreeable, as 
 
MERRYMAN GENEALOGY. 113 
 
 we often had to cut our way through it. Our oxen were lame 
 and sore and we shod them with shoe leather. When one became 
 too lame to go further, we traded it for another as best we could, 
 for there were cattle kept by traders along the way. The road 
 was lined with emigrant wagons as far as the eye could see. We 
 got along with very little sickness in our company. We had to 
 keep a careful guard of our stock at night, as there were many 
 thieves lurking about, and one night two of our best horses were 
 stolen. Next morning a company of five men went out to find 
 these horses, my brother, Ira, and I being two of them. We 
 tracked the thieves all day, but could not get along very fast, 
 as it was along the Humboldt River bottom. Late in the. after- 
 noon we saw the Indians whom we had been pursuing entering 
 a swamp covered with pools of water. In this they mired our 
 horses. It seemed by the deep tracks that two Indians must have 
 been on each horse. Three of our men left horses with the other 
 two, of whom I was one, and tried to reach the horses on foot, 
 but failing, and seeing a short way back to camp, they started 
 for it, leaving the two men waiting. Finally, darkness compelled 
 me to return. My brother, Ira, would have returned to us, if the 
 captain had not been angry at his disappointment and so would 
 not allow him to do so. We could have reached and caught the 
 thieves, if we had not feared an ambush. 
 
 "Soon after this, our company began to break up through dis- 
 satisfaction with different circumstances, and before we reached 
 the Sierra Nevada Mountains we were left alone. We crossed 
 these mountains in September, about five and a half months after 
 leaving the Mississippi River. Mr. John Jackson of Mercer 
 County, 111., owned the team and outfit. His brother-in-law, Reu- 
 ben Shields, who was afterwards in the Civil War, and myself 
 had charge of the teams. They were all in good condition on 
 arriving at Stockton, Cal., except one, which we had traded on 
 the way. We stopped on a river in Calaveras County after a long 
 and tedious trip, much harder than going to war, it seems to me. 
 We remained there for 10 years, teaming and mining for a short 
 time, and returned by steamer to New York City. I did not make 
 a big strike in California, but by diligence and economy I was 
 enabled to save $500 a year. I worked my way over the Plains 
 by driving a team and paying $75. On my way to Illinois I 
 stopped in Washington and had a very pleasant talk with Presi- 
 dent Lincoln. I prospered on the farm in Illinois and gave gen- 
 erously to churches and colleges. In April, 1886, I moved to San 
 Jacinto, Cal., and built the first house in the town of Florida. 
 There we set out an orchard of all kinds of citrus fruit, etc. I

 moved to Los Angeles, Cal., in 1895. I now have 480 acres of 
 land in Illinois, IGO acres in Nebraska and 204 acres in Califor- 
 nia."

 A MOTHER'S LAMENT. 
 De. T. J. Merryman. 
 
 It was not in the roar of battle 
 
 That my noble son went down: 
 And not from the path of duty 
 
 He was called to receive a crown. 
 
 It was not whei'e shell and bullet 
 Mow down with a deadly wound. 
 
 But 'twas where the poison lurketh. 
 Where a deadlier foe is found. 
 
116 MERRYMAN GENEAI^OGY. 
 
 He fell not by Mauser bullets 
 In the isles beyond the sea; 
 
 But went down In our own dear counti'y 
 Where to rum we bow the knee. 
 
 ■ It was not behind entrenchments 
 That my son's life-blood was shed; 
 But dishonored in the gutter 
 There he bowed his aching head. 
 
 ? It was not on picket duty 
 
 He received a fatal wound; 
 But where twines the deadly serpent, 
 Where its poison fangs are found. 
 
 It was not where the brave and noble 
 Are called to meet their death; 
 
 But 'twas where the drunkards gather, 
 With alcoholic breath. 
 
 It was not a shell's explosion 
 That laid his vitals bare; 
 
 But the appetite for liquor 
 
 That caught him in its snare. 
 
 He died not for love of country, 
 Nor his country's flag to save; 
 
 But the love of ardent spirits 
 
 Was what hurled him to his grave. 
 
 He died not to save our nation 
 And an honored grave to fill; 
 
 But to save the people's taxes 
 Where they license men to kill. 
 
 He was not in his country's service 
 To save a righteous cause; 
 
 But with thousands more he stumbled 
 Through his country's license laws. 
 
 Why, oh, why grant men a license 
 To sell what is known to kill, 
 
 And send mothers' percious darlings 
 A drunkard's grave to fill? 
 
 For, oh! when a drunkard dieth. 
 How it pierces a mother's breast; 
 
 For his spirit can never enter 
 
 That home of the good and blest. 
 
MERRYMAN GENEALOGY. 117 
 
 I entreat you, Christian voter, 
 
 Hear and heed a mother's call; 
 Do remove this curse of curses. 
 
 Or a thousand more will fall.
