Nehemiah (4) was born in West Hartford, CT and was baptized 20 Sep 1724. He lived in New Hartford, CT and died 8 Jan 1810. He was a captain in the 18th regiment of Connecticut militia in 1776. In the records of the old New Hartford church, under date of 22 July 1783, appears this entry: "Y' Church made choice of Elihah Merrell, Capt, Nehimiah Merral and Capt. Noah Kellogg to inspect y' morals of their brethren and to complain before y' church of any scandalous persons--if they be thought proper--after y' private steps had been taken to restrain them." Nehemiah Merrill's wife is called Lydia in the New Hartford record of births, but in the record of baptisms she is called Martha.Correspondence with Mel Bliven;
