In 1669, Wallingford, became a village offshoot of the New Haven Colony. Among those who signed the Wallingford Covenant and became first planters was Nathaniel Merriman, Mary's father, and so the family moved out of New Haven and began a new life in previously unsettled Wallingford. Mary's future husband, Thomas Curtis, was also one of the original settlers.[5]
