    Sarah Whiting is the daughter of Jerusha Lord and Colonel John Whiting. She married Ebenezer Merry Sr. November 5, 1772 in Connecticut.

    Ebenezer and wife soon after marriage settled in Northern Ohio. The court appointed him guardian of Nathaniel and Stephen Markham, sons and minor heirs of David Markham, deceased, being under the age of fourteen years. Later, the town of Milan, Ohio was laid out in 1816 by Ebenezer Merry, who had two years previously removed to its township.

    Mr. Merry was a native of West Hartford in Conn., and by his example contributed much, as the proprietor of the town, to promote good morals among the early inhabitants. He erected flour mills and saw mills. Mr. Merry was a man of acute observation, practical benevolence and unbounded hospitality. He repeatedly represented the county in the legislature of the state, was twice elected to a seat on the bench of common pleas, an honor in both instances declined. He died Jan 1, 1846 (Jan 12) at the age of 73, greatly beloved.

    They had ten children: Ebenezer Merry Jr., Sarah Merry Morgan, Dinah Merry Markham (Stephen Markham's mother), Jerusha Merry Pierce, Whiting Merry, Hosmer Merry, Atta Merry (died young), Anson Merry, Atta Merry Hawley and Ruth Merry Moore.
