1461 James PERCIVAL came to Keoma District with his parents.

After he married Irene Merriam of Dalroy in 1921, he helped his father with the farm till 1924. Jim worked for Vaughn Kimpton in Keoma, Alberta after that. In 1925, he farmed his father-in-law, Albert Merriam's farm, in Dalroy, Alberta.

Then they rented the farm of B. J. Osher of Iowa, USA., 2 1/2 miles north of Keoma. In 1935, they bought the Will Rintoul farm through the CPR, 2 1/2 miles south of Keoma and moved there in the spring of 1936 and lived on the W1/2 of 36-25-27-W4 and farmed 5 quarters. In 1944, he bought his father's farm just across the railraod track.

He sold the farm to the boys in 1962, Ted the home place and Bud the other. Due to Illness, he moved to Calgary, Alberta in 1972.

1469 John H. Merriam was a carpenter. He removed in 1854 to South Framingham, residing there till his death"" MERRIAM, John Hunt II (I5683)
 
1470 John Merriam lived in Lynn a score or more years after marriage, carrying on a farm. In 1713 he was employed by the town to teach a " Grammar School," i.e. one in which Latin was taught as well as the higher branches of study in English, and £10 " allowed " for his services, besides the sum of " 2 pence per week for such as are taught to read, 3 pence per week for them that are sent to write and cipher, and 6 pence per week for them that are sent to learn Latin, to be paid by the parents and masters that send their children or servants as aforesaid." The position was a testimony to his education and capability.
Aug. 25, 1716, he sold land adjoining that of his brother
Joseph in Lynn, being his homestead, and also a tract ad-
joining land of his brother William. Not far from this date he removed to Wallingford, Conn, (afterward Meriden),where he spent the rest of his days. His wife was received to the (Congregational) church, Sept. 27, 1730.
He purchased of John Prout, Nov. 3, 1716, for Ù1305, 300
acres of land in Wallingford, commonly called and known by the name of the Counay Farm, lying and being in the Wilderness at a place commonly called " Pilgrims' Harbour," also 51-2 acres of Hoop land near said farm. He resided in that part of Wallingford afterward incorporated as Meriden. "

Pope Book, page 50-51 (11). 
MERRIAM, John (I4548)
 
1471 John Merriam "resided in the easterly part of the town of Concord, at the place known as "Meriam's Corner." (Pope book spelled as "Merriam's Corner" incorrectly). MERRIAM, John (I5295)
 
1472 John Merriam is first found signing up for the American Revolution as a soldier in Barre, Massachusetts. We are not sure where he was born as we have not been able to connect him to any Merriam parents. A Bible that sold on Ebay had his tree but did not indicate his origins.

John married Mary Bacon first in Barre MA, where sons James? and Jonas were born and moved his family to Shrewsbury, Vermont where their son Issac was born. We next find John married to Gratia Ashley and living in Adams, New York. There is a note that his son James, from his first marriage, is living with him. I think this may be Jonas and there was no son James. (see http://jefferson.nygenweb.net/revfm.htm)

Kit Cutting, along with Bill Parker and Don Boyle, have searched for many years the town records of Massachusetts to connect John to his parents with no luck.

There is also Mehitable Merriam who married Gardner Bullard in Barre, Massachusetts ( Vital records of Barre) 02 July 1796, and according to the Bullard Genealogy was born in 1778. This could be a sister to John.

While it has been suggested that perhaps John's parents were Ebenezer (I5272) and Phebe (Locke) Merriam Jr; the genealogy section of The History of Oxford, Massachusetts does not support this. See the full listing of Ebenezer and Phebe's children at: http://archive.org/details/historyoftownofo00dani, page 611. John's name is absent from that listing.

1474 John Merriam was born after the death of his father.
He resided in Concord; was made a freeman 12 May 1675. A list of his lands, copied from the town records of Concord into Book 10 of Middlesex County Records of Deeds is interesting.

He also had other lands in Cambridge Farms (Lexington), given to his wife by the will of her father. Most of these they sold, but deeded part with other lands to his son Smuel in 1702. He gave his son Nataniel lands at Shawshin Corner in 1696.

1475 John Merriam, born 8/1/1776, removed to Belfast, Maine; was a very prominent citizen of the town and county; representative to the General Court of Massachusetts in 1817; repeatedly one of the selectmen; chief justice of the Court of Sessions, 1820 to 1826.

1479 Jonathan is named in the wills of both Robert MERRIAM (I4382) and Robert's wife Mary SHEAFE (I6068). It would appear he was living with and probably caring for them prior to their deaths. He seems to have been well remembered by both, especially Mary.

The entry in Robert's will reads:
It I give to my Cosen Jonathan Hubard hoe liveth with me Twenty Schillings.

Entries in Mary's will read:
It I give to my cousin Jonathan Hubbard who liveth in my hous with me all my housinge and lands in Concord whech my husband gave to me and the medow which I bought of John Wilier, and a wood lott which was my husbands that I bought againe, to him and his heirs for ever.

Lastly I doe hearby nomenate and consticutc my cousin Jonathan Hubard that now lives with me and my cousin John Meriam and my cousin Samuell Meriam my joynt Executors of this my will.

In Colonial times the term 'cousin' was generally, but not exclusively, used to indentify relatives who today we call our nephews and nieces. It also seems 'cousin' was used no matter the generational separation; therefore, Robert MERRIAM could have been either Jonathan's Uncle or his Great Uncle.

A recently located Lowell, MA Town Record shows that Robert Merriam was Jonathan Hubbard's uncle. Robert and Jonathan's mother, Mary Merriam, were siblings.

MERRIAM, Joseph Clement (I5460)
 
1482 Joseph Merriam grew up in Corcord, Massachusetts but removed when adult to the neighboring town of Cambridge, the part called "The Farms," which afterward became the parish and town of Lexington. He was admitted to the church, and was made a freeman (or citizen), May 22, 1650. He accumulated something of a property for the times, as it appears from the inventory of the estate and from the subsequent division. The property remained undivided many years after his death and was then distributed in a kindly and equitable manner.

He owned land there before 1699, when he sold a tract to Samuel Stone. Was elected tithingman at a town meeting. He sold his homestead to Thomas Cutler, land and buildings, 6 acres, bounded with lands of Stephen Davis, Thomas Mead, and the Concord line. He died May 31, 1727. the estate was settled by the widow Charity, who rendered an inventory, July 15, 1727, the estate being appriased at L 286 : 19 : 0. Benjamin Whittemore, of Concord, was surety on her bond of administration. She afterward married Andrew McClure of Oxford.
