Marriott-173 and Meritt-25 appear to represent the same person because: Merritt is on the death certificate and the find a grave. Marriage certificate says Marriott. I would go with the first two sources. I see the graveyard memorial for Jaheil Wyatt Fox shows maiden name Marriott. When did that memorial go up? Who provided the name Marriott?
