♂Walter Merryman

Dates not yet known.

Walter Merryman was an Irish-born settler of Harpswell, Maine, who by family tradition was kidnapped as a boy in an Irish port and sold in Boston for the cost of his passage, yet by 1761 was one of the town’s three selectmen. He was the fifth great-grandfather of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006) by two separate lines of descent, through two of his sons.

Kidnapped to New England

The story of his arrival was written down twice, in a history of Brunswick, Topsham and Harpswell published in 1878 and in a genealogy of his descendants by the Rev. Charles Nelson Sinnett published in 1905. Both tell it the same way: Walter was seized in an Irish port early in the eighteenth century (the 1878 history names Dublin), carried to Boston, and bound to a Mr. Simonton of Cape Elizabeth, who paid his “passage money”; Sinnett adds that descendants of the Simontons still confirmed the story in his day, and that Walter stayed with Simonton some seven years. The two books draw on the same family tradition, and no record of the voyage or the indenture has been found.

Harpswell

He married Elizabeth, called Betsy, Potter, and settled on a farm near the Harpswell meeting-house. The 1905 genealogy says she is “claimed” to have been a daughter of David Potter and Mary Merriam; the Lynn, Massachusetts, town records show that couple’s daughter Elizabeth born there on 23 August 1722, but nothing beyond the claim connects that child to Walter’s wife. The earlier town history of 1878 calls her “Betty Potter of Topsham” and says the father of the Topsham Potters “has not been ascertained”; the three Topsham Potter brothers that the 1905 book gives to David appear in neither the Lynn nor the Ipswich town records. Sinnett names five sons, Thomas, born about 1738, Hugh, Walter, James and Michael, and daughters including Frances, who married Andrew Jack of Topsham in 1766. The Harpswell christening records, as indexed, name Walter Merriman as the father of James, christened on 20 March 1756, and of Michael, christened on 6 July 1760, which confirms those two sons outside the family books.

A deed of 24 July 1756 describes him as a yeoman of North Yarmouth when Isaac Royall of Medford conveyed him 117 acres on Merryconeag Neck, then part of that town; Harpswell was not set off from North Yarmouth until 1758. Five years later the 1878 history’s list of Harpswell selectmen names Walter Merriman as one of three, and again in the next year’s entry. His son Walter was then a boy of fourteen, so the selectman was the elder man.

In the federal census of 1790 two Walter Merrimans, father and son, headed households in Harpswell, alongside Walter’s sons Thomas, Hugh, James and Michael. By the census of 1800 only one Walter Merriman remained in the town. No record of the elder Walter’s death has been found.

Lines of descent

Nancy Jane Blanchard descends from Walter twice, through his sons James and Michael. The two lines met again when James’s daughter Hannah Merryman (1783–1862) married her first cousin Walter Merriman (1785–1867), Michael’s son; their son John Merryman (1808–1891) was the great-grandfather of Nancy Jane Blanchard’s father, Kenneth Blanchard (1897–1975).

Notes

His birth and death dates are not known. Family trees give him a birth in Dublin in 1700 and a death at Harpswell in 1791; the first appears to be drawn from the tradition’s “early in 1700”, and no record has been found for either.

The 1756 deed

The deed of 24 July 1756 is among the York County, Maine, deeds. It names the grantee as “Walter Merryman of North Yarmouth … Yeoman” and the grantor as Isaac Royall of Medford, and it conveys 117 acres on Merryconeag Neck, Harpswell Neck, which lay within North Yarmouth until Harpswell was set off in 1758. The deed itself is the record, so the residence is stated plainly in the text.

The selectmen list

The 1878 history, History of Brunswick, Topsham, and Harpswell, prints a list of Harpswell selectmen. Under 1761 it gives Jonathan Flint, Paul Raymond and Walter Merriman, and the next year’s entry repeats Walter Merriman. The printed year of that second entry reads 1763, but the sequence points to 1762. This is a printed town history, not a town record; no Harpswell town record of his service has been found, so the office rests on the history alone.
