Re: Silas and Charles Franklin Merkley

would love your address....or for that matter, do you have email?We're definately talking about the same family here....and it was on behalf of your Aunt Jennie I was trying to find out more of the ancestry of the Merkley family.....looking for a connection between your branch and that of my husband's....we just discovered about a month ago that one of his gggggrandmother had been married before to a Christopher Merkley.Catherin Potter and Christopher had at least two children before he died about 1813.She remarried to Calvin Hamlin and had several more children...one of which was my husband's ggggrandmother, Harriet.

Anyway, my husband and your cousin Robert met online chatting and we got to discussing genealogy.In my 'digging' through my husband's side of the family we found the Merkley name and Bob told him that was a name in his family as well.Do you know more of the family history before Silas' time?
