I research Merritts who are related to our first known Merritt ancestor, Mathew Merritt b 1758. He lived and died in Ohio but we know nothing of his birthplace or his ancestors. His descendants, with names such as Beam, Brown, Warner, Doty, Pierson, Harris, Mills etc, extended throughout the Midwest in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa and then westward to California.
