Research Notes

Found on 9/5/2016 on Rootsweb. An email written by James W Mercer, Sr. (wmercer@juno.com) on 1 Nov 1999 to Diane (JDixon8671@aol.com). Diane was inquiring about one of her great grandmothers who was Gillie Myrick married to Luther Lawrence Griffin. She believes Gillie was the daughter of Nathaniel Myrick. Jimmy replied with the information he had on Gillie. Further down the page, he includes information that he credited as follows: "descendancy is largely but not exclusively based on a book written by our cousin Victor R. MYRICK (Deceased 1998) entitled "Myrick Family History" and published in 1980 by McDowell Publications; 719 East 6th Street; Owensboro, NY 42301; (502)-926-3721, Permission to incorporate contents was granted October 14, 1990 by Victor Myrick to James W, Mercer, Sr., provided proper credit was provided regarding the source of incorporated portions of the book "Myrick Family History." "

In the lineage it states the following:

5- Susannah MYRICK (b. about 1799) m. 1/15/1821

sp- Sterling PATE

Searches for Susan or Susannah Myrick/Myric have been unsuccessful, other than the marriage records of Susan to Sterling.

It appears that Susannah could have been the sister of Stephen M. Myrick (1800-1857) married to Martha Feagin/Fagin (1813-1869), m. 2/25/1831 Crawford County, Ga.

According to the tree of tchca35763 on ancestry.com, Owen Thompson Myrick is the father of Stephen Myrick; however, Susan/Susannah is not listed as one of the daughters of Owen.
