Jean married Anne Marie Berwick on 10 Jun 1794 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. Anne (daughter of Thomas Berwick, (immigrant) and Eleanore Helena Brigitta Wallace (or Walles)) was born on 14 Oct 1774 in St. Martinville, St Martin Parish, Louisiana; died on 15 Jan 1832 in Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Berwick, Marie (Thomas & Hypolita Wols) m 10 Jun 1794 Jean Merriman (Ople Ch v. 1, p 50)

Notes:

Between 1813 and 1816 two of Thomas Berwick's daughters also left St. Mary Parish. In 1813 a list of persons subject to taxation in the parish included William Prather, who had married Aanes Imoqene Berwick and John Merriman, married to Mary, who was also called Polly, Berwick. But two civil suits filed in December 1816 show that by then the Prathers had moved to Opelousas, and the Merrimans had moved to St. Martin. Later the Merrimans moved to SL (St. Landry); Mary, settling on Bayou Said. John Merriman was active on several police jury committees.
