John Merrick
(1614 - 2 Jul 1647)
Genealogy of the Merrick. Mirick, Myrick Family
Published 1902, Page 99-100
The John Mirick whom we assume to have been the brother of James, was born in Wales in 1614. He had a grant of land in Hingham in 1637 and was admitted a citizen of Charlestown, [Suffolk, Massachusetts] Feb. 14, 1641. He was a cooper and block-maker by occupation.
There is no record to be found of the marriage of John Mirick to an Elizabeth who died a widow June 25, 1650. The most reasonable explanation is that such John Mirick was married in England or Wales.
In 1649, 13/10, Elizabeth Morick of Roxbury granted unto Thos. Thaxter of Hingham, in consideration of xviij-pounds sterling by him paid, twenty Acres and halfe of Arable meadow and pasture being in Hingham, six Acres thereof arabel abutting on the sea, lyeing betweene the lands of John Palmer & Samuel Parker, one peace of upland of ten acres abutting Waymouth River neere to John meadow, one acre and halfe of meadow butting on the sea betweene Widdow Cutler & Thomas Joslins upland, and foure acres planting land butting on the sea, & Thomas Hewitts land on the side thereof, and this by an absolute deed of sale with Warranty, dated and acknowledged before Tho. Dudley dept. Gov.
