Posted on: Guernsey Co. OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Oh/Guernsey/11551 Surname: Mercer, Johnson, Anderson, Brown, Selby ------------------------- 5/8/2001 Thanks for your info. I found on ggrandpa Mercer's death certificate where is says If married, widowed or divorced wife of: listing a Mariah Mercer. I know my ggrandfather was John Watts Mercer and his wife Martha Jane (Anderson) Mercer. Is it possible he was married before to a Mariah? This death certificate also lists his father as JOBE, but records show Job and his mother as Samantha Brown. Oh the myteries of doing genealogy. If it were easy it would be no fun, right? Thanks for your help, John Watts Mercer b 9/16/1844 d7/1/1931 Martha Jane Anderson Mercer b 9/24/1844 d 5/1/1936 Sincerely, Myrna Mercer Bailey
