I wonder whether you have any more information on this couple, as your posting was several years ago? I'm in England researching the 17th century MERRYs here. (My own branch were from Gloucestershire, but I'm interested in ALL British MERRYs of this period and their links with America).
Over on the MERRY genforum board there are several researchers from the Virginia MERRY family. Everyone mentions Thomas MERRY and Ann Apphira PRETTYMAN, but I've not seen any reference to a primary source.Could you tell me where your record of them comes from.
We have discovered that a Thomas MERRY and a John PRETTYMAN were both Members of Parliament for parts of Leicestershire in the mid 1600s, and are wondering if this is significant, or just a co-incidence.
Many thanks
