Hi Judy
I have gotten so frustrated trying to research this branch of my family tree. As far as I can tell there were two Murkersons (spelled however you like) in Wilkinson County in 1840 census - They are listed as Milton Merkerson (George Milton Merkerson) and Ross* Mercurson (actually, when you look at the census image it looks like Rof). Ross or Rof has daughters the correct age to be my Ann Elizabeth - I'm not sure where William Martin Murkison fits into this. I don't even seem him listed in the 1840 census.
Green is the son of George Milton Merkerson - at least he's living with him in the Wilkinson County censuses. It's very confusing to me - I can't find anyone who seems to know anything concrete about these people.
I'll tell you what I have so far...
George Milton Merkerson was married first to Elizabeth Pierce (m. Dec 25, 1837)and had the following children
1. Thomas (b. 1839)
2. Georgia Ann (b. 1841)
3. Marie (b. 1844)
4. Green (b. 1845)
5. William E. (b. 1847)
6. Mary J. E. (b. 1849)
7. James R. F. (b. 1852)
Then he married Mary Jane Minson (between 1852-1857) and had more children
1. Isabelle (b. 1857)
2. Melissa (b. 1860)
3. Alice Julia (b. August 23, 1865)
4. Emma (b. 1866)
5. Ellen (b. 1868)
Rof(Ross)Mercurson married Mary Ann ??? and had the following children:
1. Mary Jane (b. Oct. 25, 1827)
2. Benjamin F. (b. 1828)
3. Ann Elizabeth (b. 1829) (***this is my gg grandmother)
4. Virginia (b. 1836)
5. Elmira (b. 1839)
6. John R. M. (b. 1845)
I have more details - I can send if you like - but most of what I have is assumptions I have made due to information I have found - mostly census records.....I could definitely be mistaken on several items.
I also have Rof (or Ross) and George Milton as sons of John Murkison (who lived in Washington County, Georgia in 1820). They may have had a sister named Martha (b. 1817)
If you have any information I would appreciate any help with this branch of the family - Thanks so much!!!!
Lisa
