William Taylor Mercer, 1825-1896, and his wife (married 1847) Rebecca Bradfield, 1830-1867, appear to have had most of their children in Ohio County, some specifically in Fordsville. The children's names were Mary Elizabeth Mercer, b. 1849, George Walter Mercer, b. 1851; William Taylor Mercer, Jr., b. 1852; Thomas Frank Mercer (my great grandfather), b. 1854; Susan Jane Mercer, b. 1855; Samuel Payton Mercer, b. 1858; Martha Ellen Mercer, b. 1860; Willis Alfred Mercer, b. 1862; John David Grant Mercer, b. 1864; and Anna Catherine Mercer, b. 1867. I'd be interested to hear from anyone else researching this family. I'm particularly interested in any information about Rebecca Bradfield, where she came from, who her ancestors/siblings were, etc. William Mercer, Sr.'s parents were James Mercer and Annie Graham, from Washington and Marion Counties, Kentucky, but Annie is thought to have died in Ohio County in 1888. William and most of his children ended up in Edwards and Wabash Counties, Illinois, and William and Rebecca are both buried in Bone Gap, Edwards County, Illinois. I assume they were in Illinois by the time Rebecca died in 1867, so their last couple of kids may have been born in Illinois as well. But William's mother stayed longer than that in Ohio County, Kentucky, and several of William Sr's siblings appear to have stayed in Ohio County - several in Aetnaville. Any information is appreciated.
