Carr-Dent/Merida Connections?
I'm throwing up a prayer here and hoping someone out there might know something.On my mother's side, I have two relatives with the name 'Merida'.One is my 2nd gr grandfather on my mother's sideWilliam Merida Carr.The other is a cousin by the name of Campbell Merida Dent.For years we have wondered where those names came from, especially since there has been a close connection between the Carrs and Dents going back at least 180 years.In fact, William Merida married Lucinda Dent, who was the niece of Campbell Merida Dent. By any chance, by any miracle, does anyone out there know of a connection between the Merida families and the Carrs and Dents?I provide my homepage URL so that anyone interested can learn more about the Carrs and Dents.
