Notes:

Excerpt from "A Merrill Memorial Vol. 1": Abel Merrill was the youngest in the second generation of Newbury Merrills, and dying at forty-five years of age, his ws the shortest life. His descendants, however, are more numerous, and more widely scatteres, than those of most of his brother. At the doath of his father he was only eleven years of age. In 1668 he took the "Oath of ffidelitie" to the government, and in September, 1678, he took the oath of allegiance, his age being then recorded as thirty-two years, although it would appear that he was at that time two years older.
In 1682 a Baptist church ws formed in Newbury, and Abel Merrill was one of the original members. Under the name of "
Abil Merell" he appears to have been a soldier in the company of Capt. Thomas Noyes in 1688.
The tax list of 1688 shows that Abel Merrill was in that year assessed on one house, five acres of "Plow Lands" in Newbury, one horse, five cows, six young cattle, ten sheep and four swine. At his death he was an owner of land in Haverhill, his interest being appraised at oe35. This was no doubt his undivided share in land which he and his brother Daniel purchases in 1673 and 1674. He died intestate.

Abel married Priscilla CHASE on 10 Feb 1670/1 in Newbury, Essex Co., Mass.. Priscilla (daughter of Aquila CHASE and Anne WHEELER) was born between 14 Mar 1648 and 1649 in Newbury, Essex Co., Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

*************NOTE***************
It should be noted that Abraham and Rose are probably not interned here as this cemetery was not organized at their death but their family is interned here. They are laid to rest in a family plot close, that has yet to be discovered.
Info comes via Jack Parker with special thanks for his updates.
The cemetery was founded in 1655, not 1690 - it's just that prior to 1690 they used fieldstone markers - which have all been incorporated into the surrounding wall. The cemetery is literally a stones throw from Abrahams land. It is therefore most likely that Abraham and Rose are buried here.
