!This source gives Rachel's birthdate as 1670.
!Gives her husband as Thomas Morgan.

!Court records dated Jan. 18, 1737/38 indicated that Isaac Goodwin
[Rachel's son-in-law] and Stephen Hosmer [husband of Rachel's
grand-daughter, Deliverance Graves] were the administrators of Rachel
Morgan's estate. This proves that Rachel Morgan died prior to Jan. 18,
1737/38.

!From "History of Northampton, Massachusetts", as quoted in "A 300 year
record of descendants of Cornelius Merry of Northampton, Massachusetts
and Northfield, Massachusetts", by Irwin Merry (in Merry file) :

!"At a ...meting there was then granted to Cornelius the Irishman three
akers of land..."

!"Cornelius Merry was a servant of John Lyman, to whom he was
indentured."

!"When Northfield was first settled, he removed to that place...the owner
of considerable land."

!"He was actively engaged in King Philip's war, and participated in the
"Fall's Fight."

!"In 1666, the court ordered "Cornelius Merry to be whipt 20 stripes for
abusing the authority in this country and the English by seditious
speeches." "His master, John Lyman, agreed to pay that sum, and 2s.
costs, and the court ordered Merry to serve his master 12 days more
after his term of apprenticeship had expired."

!His son, Cornelius, sold the Northfield, Mass. estate of his parents in
1716 after their deaths.

War. After the war [sometime after 1676], he removed from
Northampton. (Savage. Gene. Dictionary of N.E. III, 1861, p. 200)
