  Notes	Family lore has it that she is the daughter of John Merriman and Mary Berwick. These two appear to have a daughter, Anne, born on Jun 9, 1796 in LA. I have not been able to determin for sure if Anne and Sarah are the same person but it seems likely. We do not know for sure Sarah was born on the 6th instead of the 9th. They were both living in the same area. We have a record of Anne's birth but none for Sarah. We have a record of Sarah's marriage and death but no such records for Anne. She named her first two children, Letitia and Hugh after her husband's parents. The third child, John, could be named after Sarah/Anne's father, John Merriman. The fourth child is a boy so the symetry is broken. That said, their eldest daughter does name her first born Mary. On the flip side, the source of the family lore stated above was not very reliable where Humphrey's Irish ancestory was concerned.
