B. Meritt: about 1786¹

Research

B. Meritt believes it was Dinah and Patty who were dismissed from Presbyterian Church on June 7, 1812; but it is just as likely that it was Dinah Houghton, wife of Lemuel Houghton, and Martha (Patty) Oaks, wife of Elijah Houghton; it is unclear whether these two children were part of the family. They are based on B. Merritt's interpretion of 2 females in 1790 census²

Research

Only B. Meritt gives this child
