The Walnut Hill Neighborhood, named for the many walnut trees that once grew there, lies in Northwest Dallas, bounded by Royal Lane on the north, Midway Road on the east, Walnut Hill Lane on the south, and Marsh Lane on the west, and is bisected by Merrell road. Most of the neighborhood was part of the Merrell farm from the middle-19th century to the middle of the 20th. Residential development of the area began in the mid-1950s.
Eli Merrell's great-great-great-great granddaughter, Cerise Blair of Corinth, Texas, shares a fuller history of the Merrell family and the Merrell Cemetery.
