1. | William Mastin Mercer was born on 7 Nov 1844 in VA (son of John Jackson Musser and Elizabeth Ridings); died on 24 Sep 1912 in Smyth Co, VA; was buried in Smyth Co, VA. Notes: The family name is often shown as Musser, a very common name in Smyth Co VA. But since Mercer is used most often for this branch of the family in the census and on his death record, I choose to use that William married Margaret E. Pickle about 1865. Margaret was born on 4 Sep 1847 in Smyth Co, VA; died on 12 Feb 1930 in Smyth Co, VA; was buried in Smyth Co, VA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] Children:

6. | David Ridings was born on 7 Sep 1784 in Surry Co, NC (son of John Ridings and Anna Nancy Gentry); died on 11 Jul 1861 in Pulaski Co, KY; was buried in Pulaski Co, KY. Notes: This email mentions a son name Archie. I have found nothing to support this except the 1830 Wythe Co census includes a 10-15 year old male in David's household. I also have nothing to support the statement that John P was born in Culpepper County VA. Several researchers on MyHeritage website list an Archibald but undocumented. David married Elizabeth Dean Coley on 27 May 1809 in Stokes Co, NC. Elizabeth was born about 1790 in VA; died before 1865. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
