I'm not quite ready to declare that Merick and Ann are infact our John's parents, yet.  It is clear there is a Meryic and Mary having children at this same time and location - as you have documented.  I am curious if Meryic was unfaithful to Mary, or if there is another man with the same name - a cousin? a son? (though the dates don't look likely), ??
The dates for John's birth don't match exactly (though we really don't have an exact birthdate yet).  The fact that John named a son Merick certainly creates a likelyhood of the father being named Merick (spelled whichever way).  I'm hoping to find a marriage record for one of the marriages that lists the parents - or some other documentation to tie these two Johns together for sure.

I took the marriage information off - it is inaccurate. See the discussion note under Sarah Langdon.

Good catch. I'll update my personal files.
