William Merkel Stephen Ringer Additional Comments: This appraisal was all handwritten and difficult to decipher some of the words, especially since some of the terminology is from 1860's and often related to farming equipment. The spelling of William Merkel is either Merkel or possibly Markel, hard to read. This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/pafiles/ File size: 8.9 Kb
