1. {{Puritan Great Migration|GM2|VI, R-S|497}} ==Disputed Origins==According to Robert Charles Anderson's "The Great Migration Directory", 2015, page 226, Thomas Merrick's origins are unknown. Anderson indicates that he immigrated in 1637, and there are records for him in Hartford and Springfield. Based on Anderson's information and WikiTree policy, Thomas Merrick's relationship to his parents [[Meyrick-4|John Meyrick]] and [[Bishop-985|Dorothy Bishop]], has been changed to 'Uncertain'. == Biography == Thomas Merrick, the immigrant ancestor of the Merrick family in America, was born about 1620, probably at Pembroke in Wales. He came to America on the James in 1636 with his three brothers and probably one sister.<ref>Genealogy of the Merrick-Mirick-Meyrick Family of Massachusetts</ref> According to one family story, the brothers separated, one going to Eastham, one to Newbury and one remained in Charlestown. His putative sister, Sarah Mirick, married John Atkinson at Newbury in 1646. Thomas first settled in Roxbury, then moved to Hartford, then up the Connecticut River to Agawam by 1638;<ref>Genealogy of the Merrick-Mirick-Meyrick Family of Massachusetts.</ref> Agawam soon became known as Springfield, Massachusetts. Thomas married Sarah Stebbins, the daughter of Rowland and Sarah Stebbins of Springfield, 14 Jul 1639. He and Sarah had 5 children:<ref name="beekman741">Beekman Patent, p. 741.</ref> # Thomas, , born 12 Apr 1641; died young.# Sarah, born 9 May 1643; married Eliakim Hitchcock of New York 4 Nov1667; died 1712. # Mary, born 28 Sep 1645; died 28 Jul 1646.# Mary, born 27 Aug 1647; married Samuel Foote of Hatfield, 30 May 1671. # Hannah, born 10 Feb 1649; married Benjamin Knowlton 30 Nov 1676.

His birthplace has been given as St. David's in Pembrokeshire. His birth year unclear - some sources say 1608 and others say 1620. 1620 is unlikely, because men had to be at least 21 to gain status as freemen, and most attained that status between about 25 and 30. Thomas could not have received land until he was a freeman. Since Thomas had married and received land by 1639, he had to have been born by 1618. He was also one of six men ordered toparticipate in a diplomatic mission to the Warranocke Indians "to know the reasons why they said they are afraid of us" in April 1638.<ref>Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volume VI, R-S,p. 486.</ref>It is highly unlikely that this delicate of a task wouldhave been entrusted to a teenager. From the ''Genealogy of the Merrick Family of Massachusetts'':: "Thomas Merrick... came to America in the year 1636 with three brothers and probably one sister, Sarah Mirick, who married John Atkinson,at Newbury, 1646.
