Note: When researching Mary Raymond's birth date, which is well published, it is "Mary Meriam" who has this vital. When researching this family name, it is actually spelled "Meriam", and this daughter is called "Meriam" by the Colonel; these ladies were named for their mother. Meriam's niece by her brother Rueben is "Meriam". There is not a Miriam anywhere, they are all Meriam. Rarely ever will you see NEHGS make a mistake, but in this case, the spelling of the name became very important.
