I am a descendent of James Merrill and Huldah Edison. Huldah was the daughter of Adonijah Edison and Nancy Williams. John was raised "on Talbot street at Catfish creek" in Elgin County, Ontario and I found record of his father being named William. James & Huldah had a son named John who was born in London, Ontario. It appears that James moved to the U.S. with the Edisons (they seem to have lived in the same places), but Huldah was buried in Elgin, Ontario just a year later. John remarried and moved to Iowa, but I have found evidence that he tried to reclaim land he left behind in Ontario. My Grandmother left behind some notes where she speaks of "Ma Edison" visiting her in Iowa. I am looking for any information on connections between the two families, as well as whether there is any further information on the history of the Merrills in Canada.

Thanks!!

Brian
