| Notes |
- "Clint" following his father's death lived for awhile with his aged grandfather, Henry Hormell, before being raised by Abraham and Rebecca Merritt. He was educated at the Commercial Academy. In 1849 he went to Natchez, Mississippi and in 1854 to California, crossing via Nicaraugua. Later he crossed at Panama. He was a member of the expedition that attempted to build a telegraph line via Alaska to Asia. Later he engaged in mining and was for a number of years the administrator of the estate of general Ord in California. In 1908 he was near Glendora, California where he had a fine orange grove. He lived in the community near Glendora developed by his LaFetra cousins. [Source: Jack T. Hutchinson, "A Quaker Migration to Southwestern Ohio", (March 1996), pg 11]
