did Merry have a son? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

When reading my appendies today I noticed that on the timeline it said:

'King Eomer wished to see Master Holdwine (Merry) again. Meriadoc was then old (102) but still hale. He took counsel with his friend the Thain, and soon after they handed over their goods and offices to their sons and rose away over Sarn Ford'

However, in the family tree it shows no record of Merry and Estella having children. (The key word in the quote being sons, suggesting that there were more than one, Pippin's son Faramir and Merry's?)

Did Merry have a son that was not included on the timeline, or did I miss something?

Any ideas/comments?
