By Charles Henry Pope

This publication includes the "Genealogical Memoranda" of Charles Pierce Merriam and collections from James Sheldon Merriam.  It traces the Merriam lineage from its origins in Kent, England, through their emigration to America, covering twelve generations.   It is based on extensive research using wills, parish records, and other historical documents, going beyond lineage to explore the social and economic context of the family's life in England and the New World.
