My G-G-Grandparents were Sylvanus Merica and Jemima (Rhodes) Merica. Their son was Jerrimiah Virgil (Doc) Merica. He was married to Marjorie Agnes West.
My Grandfather was Jerrimiah Merica married to Lenola (Sitterly?).
My father was Jack W. Merica, Sr.
Can anyone out there shed some light past Sylvanus? He's my brick wall. I found out he and Jemima were married in Indiana in 1856. How about some of you Virginia cousins? Is there a Sylvanus in any closets that may have wandered west? I'd really like to get past him and continue on back. Thanks in advance.
