JOHN3
MERRILL (Nathaniel2)
was born 16 Feb. 1662/3, in Newbury, Mass., and died 15
May, 1705. He was a house carpenter. About 1697 he removed
from Newbury to Bradford, Mass., and about 1700 to the
West Parish of Haverhill, Mass. He left an estate valued
at £152,7s., but his debts amounted to £158,12s.
He married Lucy Webster, daughter of John and Ann (Batt)
Webster. She was born 15 Dec. 1664, in Newbury, and was
living in Haverhill in 1718. (William M. Sargent appears
to be in error in the Maine Historical and Genealogical
Recorder [vol. III., p. 179] in saying that John3
Merrill married as a second wife "Mary ." Administration
on the estate of John Merrill was granted to "Lucy
Merrill," his widow, 9 July, 1705.) Children, the
