Vermont Northeast Kingdom Genealogy Query - Message Board Merrow I am trying to find any information on my uncle David A Merrow. He was the adoptive son of James A and Marie Louise (Labounty) Merrow. David was born in 1925 and Killed In Action in France in 1944 during WWII. In 1948 David was disinterred, brought home and reburied in the Merrow Family Plot in "St John of the Cross Cemetery" in East Albany. According to the US Census Records David lived in Irasburg in 1930 and Barton in 1935 and 1940. I am David's only living relative. I never knew about David until my mother died this year. He was born out of wedlock to my grandmother and brought up by the Merrows. If you can find any information on him I would appreciate it if you could forward it to me. Do you know who administers the ST John of the Cross Cemetery? Thanks, Diane Booth show email address We didn't know anything about David until about a month ago as he was a "family secret". We want to get to know him, rebuild his short life and add him to our family tree. We visited his burial site and there is no information on the stone or any WWII maker. We will work on this with the Veterans Affairs Organization. He deserves to be recognized as he made the supreme sacrifice for his country at the young age of nineteen.
