General Notes: Husband - Frederick Merchant

---

There is a well-authenticated tradition that his father, who was a Protestant, was forced to either join the Roman Catholic Church or flee the country, leaving all of his property. He accordingly sent his wife and two children to America, intending later to join them here, it is presumed; but he never came.
