Hey Caren, I thought of something you may not know. Caleb and Daniel Shreve had a sister Mary Sheffield who was an ancestor of Stephen A. Douglas, debater of Abraham Lincoln. You can verify this on his ahnentafel available at Famouskin.com. On the matter of what Huttel means, I found that in parts of Bavaria, Huttler means "carpenter." The u has an umlaut over it, so that's why it was changed to Huettel in English because we don't have an umlaut. Jack

Yes, We are descended from Nathaniel Merrill. Nathaniel Merrill and Joanna Kinney would be my 8th great grandparents.
I'm working on writing up the story of Sherman, it's pretty interesting and a bit scandalous.
