did Merry have a son?

Then I realised they had ALL of Sam's

Sam's last son was born in 1442, leaving 42 years between then and the year that Merry and Pippin leave for Rohan and Gondor. Planty of time to have children.

I always assumed that Merry and Pippin had one son each. Merry's son was obviously not included, perhaps he didn't have anything to do with the red book and so wasn;t mentioned in there. Though if you look at the later events concerning the fellowship, Merry is only mentioned when he becomes master of Buckland and then again when he dies. It doesn't seem to be the most informative when it comes to Merry.
