Replied to you yesterday on the Smith/Mercer's. I noticed you are also researching the Veazey line. There are Veazey's in my Moore line. They live in Taliaferro Co. (Sharon),GA which was originally part of Wilkes Co. My Moore's are there too. The library at Crawfordville has worlds of info on the local families. Will be glad to share what I have. The Smiths and Mercers that my husband descended from are in Butts Co. There are worlds of Weavers there also. We live in Spalding Co., next door to Butts. Hope to hear from you.
