"HENRY MERRITT was one of the earliest settlers of Scituate, though not a freeman until 1638. There is a deed in the Colony records, dated 1628, from Henry Merritt to Nathaniel Tilden, conveying planting lands on the third cliff. He was doubtless amongst the first settlers, as early as 1626. His house lot in 1633 was at the corner where Greenfield lane and 'the drift way' united. We believe it is now (1831) known as Merritt's Corner. He had large shares in the New Harbour marshes. He was also one of the Conihassett partners".
He died intestate, Nov. 30, 1653, at Scituate, Plymouth, MA.
