Merrill, Nelson J., was born October 24, 1830. His father, Ara P. Merrill, was a native of Whitestown, N. Y.,
and came to Genesee county in 1815; he married a Miss Rogers for his first wife, and after her death married Mary
Strickland. Asa Merrill, his brother, came to Genesee county in 1809, and was prominent in the early growth of
the town of Byron. Nelson J. Merrill was educated in the common schools, and in 1856 married Mary, daughter of
David Gleason; they have three sons: Jay, Otto and Byron. Mr. Merrill is a practical and successful farmer, and
ranks with Byron's enterprising, industrious and upright men.
