• Notes

  Granville County, North Carolina Original Wills Vol 1 1749-1810 By Tim Rackley 250. Benjamin Merritt of Granville Co., NC, 8 Nov 1776 "Being sick of body". I give my land and negro boy Peter to be equally divided between by nephews Ephraim Meritt, son of Stephen Merit, Ephraim Boyd son of John and Mary Boyd, Hud Rose son of William and Elisabeth Rose. To my Mother Agness Langston my young mair during her natural life and after her death to fall to Ephraim Meritt son of Stephen Meritt. To my nephew John Boyd son of John and Mary Boyd one feather bed and furniture. Four head of cattle to my two nephews Ephraim Meritt son of Stephen Meritt and Hudson Rose son of William and Elisabeth Rose. Also my hogs to be equally divided among all my nephews. All of my estate of every kind with my debts due to me after paying all lawful debts to be divided as before mentioned. James Langston and John Williams to be executors. Wit: James Langston, John Boyd, Shearmon Goss Signed Benjamin Meritt February Court 1777 prov'd by oath of James Langston and Shearmon Goss. James Langston and John Williams qualified as executors 251. Ephraim Merrit (Nuncupative Will), October 1760 Deposition of Solomon Langston before Robert Hicks 24 October 1760 stated that Ephraim Merrit was at his house sometime before he dyed and his son Stephen and his Negrow boy Ebo alies Luis said Ephraim Merit to the said deponent that newgrow boy will never do me any good, because he have four young children and four young negroes. I give my Negrow boy Ebo or alies Luis to my son Stephen, my negrow boy Peter to my son Bijiamin (Benjamin), my Negrow Girl Dot to my daughter Mary, and my Negrow girl Aechel to my daughter Elisabeth. Ageleus (Agness) Merrit wife of said Ephraim also signed the deposition. [No probate information, appears to never have been recorded]. So it appears that Ephraim Merritt Sr. married Agness. After his death, she remarried to a Langston. Their children were Stephen Merritt, Benjamin Merritt, Mary Merrit Boyd wife of John Boyd, and Elisabeth Merritt Rose wife of William Rose. The younger Ephraim Merritt appears to be the son of Stephen Merritt.
