  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. https://archive.org/stream/AttakapasGazette/1986_Vol21_djvu.txt
