I will leave it to you to check. I think the now, Elizabeth Unknown Merritt, is attached to the wrong Nicholas Merritt. She is more likely the Elizabeth _____ , as spouse of his son Nicholas.
In that case she maybe Elizabeth Ashton, daughter of John Ashton of Scarborough, ME. See as Elizabeth, bap.11 Dec. 1687, m. Nicholas Merritt, who d. at Marblehead in 1736.

His wife until 1685 was Mary Sanden Merrett? No wife listed in will. I did not find a reference for marriage to Elizabeth (Unknown) Merritt in 1686.
