"John
and Nathaniel MERRILL, probable sons of Nathaniel and Mary (BLACKSOLL)
MERRELL of Wherstead, arrived in America in the mid 1630s, residing a year
or so at Ipswich, MA prior to moving to Newbury before 1638."

pages 856-857
"Nathaniel
has been said to have arrived at Ipswich, MA about 1633 and remained there
with brother John a year or more before moving to Newbury, MA. However, no
evidence of any kind has been seen that placed Nathaniel in MA prior to the
birth of his son Daniel at Newbury in 1642. A Merrill Memorial states that
there is no evidence that Nathaniel arrived in MA in 1633 and only
conjectures that he was a proprietor at Newbury, MA in 1638. It is probable
that Nathaniel did not arrive in America until between 1639 and 1641 and
settled at Newbury, Essex Co., MA, joining his brother John, who had lived
there for some time. Nathaniel's will dated Mar. 8, 1654/5 and proved Mar.
27, 1655 names wife Susanna, daughter Susanna, and five sons, all children
except Nathaniel being under age 21. The estate inventory of Mar. 23, 1654/5
indicated he was a man of modest means, with 13 acres of land, 14 head of
cattle and common farming and household implements. A debt of £5 for rent to
John Cutting indicates Nathaniel leased his dwelling."
