Her gravestone reads

"Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep
From which none ever wakes to weep
A calm and undisturbed repose
Unbroken by the last of foes"

A letter from Roberta Puffer lists her as "(the one who was heir to the German throne." (Ed Note: this has long been a family anectdote. Small doll china in the possession of David Caranci, is supposed to have come from a German castle. DMC 2-18-16)

A letter from Hazel Bradeen says "Through the Redmond side she was heir to the German Throne."

According to some old deeds she's named as Catherine E.

Notes:

(Ed Note: According to family history, Colonel James Merritt was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War. I can find no mention of this man in any history of Bunker Hill or the Revolutionary War. You'd think a Col. in the Continental Army who was killed at the most famous battle of the Revolution would be mentioned somewhere? The "History of the town of Bernardston, MA" lists a James Merrett as being a 'six month man' (enlisted for 6 months). DMC )
