My Comments notes for Captain Robert Merritt
This man was a Revolutionary War hero. If I was a Lawther girl wanting to join Colonial Dames or DAR, this is the man I would use as my distinguished ancestor.
He led a company of light horseman in the war and 6 of his sons served with him. These sons include Frederick.
