Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book traces the history of the Merriam family, a name now distinctly American, back to its origins in medieval England. The author explores the family's social standing, economic activities, and geographic distribution. Through a fascinating examination of wills, parish registers, and other historical records dating back to the 13th century, the book reveals the family's evolution from a Kentish yeoman lineage to its eventual emigration to Massachusetts in the 17th century. The book also delves into the etymology of the surname Merriam, connecting it to the Anglo-Saxon words "merry" and "ham" and suggesting its meaning as "Happy home." The author explores the prevalence of the name in the Weald of Kent and its possible connections to the Plantagenet era. Finally, the author's own family history is intertwined with the larger narrative, highlighting the personal journey that led to the creation of this comprehensive genealogical record. The book illuminates the intricate tapestry of family history, tracing the Merriam lineage across centuries and continents and revealing the significance of the "Happy home" as a symbol of both individual identity and the enduring legacy of family connections. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
