Thanks for the informative dialog. The names prompt me to ask if you know of any connection between Silas Mercer Beasley and my GGGgrandparents, Solomon Mercer and Elizabeth Beasley, married in 1835 in Ware County, Ga. Thanks again, Dick Hamly

Hi Dick and all, >From the help of some Mercer researchers, I have been able to determine that Solomon Mercer who lived in Ware Co. GA before moving to FL is indeed connected to Silas Mercer Beasley Sr. Both descended from their immigrant ancestor Christopher Mercer who married Katherine Bigg. Does this agree with what you have? Do you know anything about the ancestory of Elizabeth Beasley, wife of your Solomon Mercer? I note on the 1850 Ware Co. GA census that she is listed as Nancy. Was Elizabeth a middle name?? I am speculating that she was a sister of Nathan and William Beasley who are listed living near her on the 1840 Ware Co. GA census. I look forward to your response. I'd be interested in researching to see if Solomon and Silas are connected on the Beasley side too. Melissa __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
