| Notes for Joanne (Spouse 1) |
| 134Nathaniel Merrill married, 15 Oct. 1661, Joanna Ninian. The name is written Ninny in the original record. In Coffin's "History of Newbury" and Hoyt's "Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury" it is given as Kinney, and in Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary" as Kenney. There is no record of other Ninnys, Kinneys or Kenneys in Newbury in the early years of the settlement, but there were Kenneys at Salem and elsewhere in the county. Ninian also appears as an early family name, but not frequently. Individuals at that time were indifferent with regard to the uniform spelling of family names, and clerks naturally were no more accurate in making records. General Lewis Merrill was convinced that the name was Ninian. Joanna Merrill died 8 Feb. 1717/18, aged about 90. |
