It appears that his wife may be the daughter of Thomas Wyborn who mentioned a daughter Elizabeth "Merritt" in his will of 1656. If so, there are some profiles to untangle and/or merge. . .

There is also an overlapping marriage with Hopestill living to at least 1669. This profile may be conflated, or one of his marriages could be incorrect.

Is anyone still working on this profile? In less than 2 minutes, I HAVE found a record for John Merick's marriage to "Elizabeth Wyborne ye daughter of Thomas Wyborne of Boston" ... "By Whom Married" is listed as "Capt Humphrey Atherton at Cambridge". The date given is 3, 2, 55. At the top of the page, the marriages on this page started in the year 1651, 3 is the day of the month and 2 is the month. Was the month February or April??? This information is from ancestry and I know they don't like us making "copy, paste" images on WikiTree, so should I add the link here? Thanks, TF

Thanks, Teresa. I've added a freely-available version using the NEHGR transcriptions of the Early Boston Records.
