Known Daughters notes for Solomon Mertz (H6a3)
He appears to have had two wives and had his oldest daughter Lydia born 1834 and his youngest (perhaps?) Lula in 1876, that’s assuming he didn’t keep having kids into the 1880’s.
Known Sons notes for Solomon Mertz (H6a3)
In the 1850 Census, Solomon’s five sons to that point were:

H6a3a Solomon 1835
H6a3b Franklin 1838
H6a3c William 1841
H6a3d Owens 1844

There were a couple of sons born later, too, but I generally only track those born before 1850.
