Marriner Wood Merrill, son of Nathan Merrill, was part of the original
Mormon settlers in Utah, he had 8 wives and 48-56 children.
Its my understanding that on the LDS site, under Thomas Hazen Merrill, his
line goes back to 1444.

Arthur Molasky was a farm labourer, living adjacent to Julia's family at the time of the 1871 census. Afterwards they lived on their own farm in Cambridge parish, and their family is enumerated there in the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses.

James Dawson Monk was happiest as a child when he could tag along behind his grandfather, Doss Cook. He would hide in the barn when it was time to go back to Atlanta. Doss allowed him to stay several times, causing him to repeat the first and second grades in school. This did not bother James. School was never the most important thing in his life. He tried living with his father in Ty Ty but it did not work out. He moved to Nashville, TN with his family in 1936. Accordion lessons became a big part of his life. At Hume Fogg High he took ROTC. When the war in Europe developed, he decided to join the Air Force. He spent most of the war in the Panama Canal Zone. Before leaving home, he had his surname changed to Duncan. He greatly admired his step father, William Aaron Duncan. Upon his return to the States, at the close of the war, he was stationed in California. There he met his future wife, Josephine Grimes. She was a former WAC. He remained in the service until his health began to fail. This was about 1955. After many tests at Maxwell Field Hospital, in Montgomery, AL he was given a medical discharge. His diagnosis was chronic glomerula mephitis (kidney failure). He and his family lived in the Jacksonville, FL area, near his mother and sister, until his death in 1965, on Christmas morning. He is buried in the mausoleum at Riverside Mem. Park Cem., Jacksonville, FL, near his mother, James and Jo were divorced, neither remarried. Jo moved to Lake Worth, FL.

Martha M. Beasley spent her early years in Atlanta, GA. Visits to the farm at Chula and the warm, loving relationships enjoyed there were the high-lights of her youth.

After her parents divorced, and her mother remarried, the family moved to Nashville, TN. There she attended East Nashville Jr. High graduating in 1940 and St. Thomas Hosp. School of Nursing graduating in 1943. She attended the Christ Church, Episcopal.

Martha and Edward were married in the First Baptist Church in Forsyth, GA by Willis B. Hollingsworth, Sr., husband of her mother's sister, Hazel. Edward was a rate clerk for the railroad when they were married and he kept that job until the war ended. He later moved the family to Jacksonville, FL. Martha has worked as a registered nurse several times.
