Deft: and his son Leonard Ruige then leased the house ( f o r m erly in theOcc: of Pts) to Robert Stevens of Abingd o n B er ks.
[N.B.--The Leasehold premises referred to are probabl y t h o s e left toGregory Merriman under the will of his f athe r. -- G. F.M.M.]

General Notes for Child George Merriman
Nathaniel's father George made his Will, Oct 31, 1 6 5 5 i n L ondon and in it states:
"I do give unto my son Nathaniel Merriman, now resi d e n t i n New England, the sum of ten pounds of lawful En gl i s h mone y..."
He worked as a cooper. This was a metal working occup a t i o n that made therims for wagon wheels and for barre l s a n d th e like.
His will:
GEORGE MERRYMAN. Sonne of Gregory Merryman of Whytn e y i n t h e County of Oxon Weav. He wasapprenticed to Rap ha el l Wart e r and became a Cooper of London.
[? "The son who went to London."]
Ex. from Records of the Coopers' Company, London:-- " C o u r t day on Thirsday the XIXth day of June 1606.....Th i s d a y R aphellWarter brought into this Court one Georg e M erry ma n th e sonne of GregoryMerryman of Whytney in t he C ount y o f Oxo n Weav. and presented him hearehas desi red t his C ompa ny t o take notice of an Indenture of Appr entice gdate d th e XViij th day of ffebruary 1598 whereb y the sai d Geor ge wa s boundu nto him for Ix yeares fro m the day o f the da te o f the sai d indenture."
[N.B.--If George M. was 10 years old at the date of t h e I n d enture he wasborn 1587-8.] "4th Oct, 1610.--Rec d o f Geo r g e Merryman for his publey (?) by Taxhall (?Ra phae ll) Wa rt e r iii iiii." "27th July 1633 (/) Recd of G eorg e Merrym a n fo r prenticing John Rowan foreight yeart s.... ....XXd. " " 16t h Noe: 1638. Recd of George Merryma n for p renticin g Wil lia m Myles foreight years.........X Xd." " 5 Feb. 1655 . Joh n Mer riman had turned over to hi m HenryA llison...... Former ly app rentice of George Merri man." [N. B.--This dat e mean s 1656, a nd shows that Goerg e Merrima n died befor e 5Feb. i n that yea r.]
Ex. "Genealogical Gleanings in England," by Henry F. Wa t e r s ,VVol 2, p.1445 (B. M. 2100, c.):--
George Merriman, Citizen and Freeman of Coopers' Comp a n y , L ondon. HisWill dated 31 Oct, 1655, Proved P.C.C . , 1 9 Ma y, 1 656 (Berkley 175). "I do give unto my son N at hani ell M errim an, now resident in New England,the su m o f te n pound s of La wful English money; and unto my da ught erEli zabeth N orman, w hom I have already advanced i n marr iage w ith Maste rJohn Nor man, I give twenty shilli ngs t o buy he r a ring i n remembran ce ofmy love.

The resid ue to so n John whom I do hereb y make and ordai n full an d sole exe cutor, etc."
Marke of George Merriman.
From this it appears that George Merriman had at leas t t h r e e childrenliving in 1655, viz,:--
1.--Elizabeth, m. John Norman.
2.--John Merriman, who carried on his father's busi n e s s o f Cooper, inLondon, and was sole executor of hi s Fa th er 's W ill and took over hisfather's apprentice, H enr y All iso n.
3.--Nathaniell Merriman, who removed to America abo u t 1 6 3 2 and settled inthe Colony of New Haven, later ta ki n g a p er minent part in the developmentof what is no w th e S tate o f C onnecticut.
