Some of the recent information does not come close to matching what I have. The recent posts claimed that David Vestal, son of Elizabeth Mercer, was born 1736. Yet, I have Elizabeth Mercer's date of death as 1725? What are the correct dates?

Does anyone have any information about Five Vestal brothers from England, taking passage from the Netherlands to PA, then to NC. One settled in Yadkinville Co., two settled in Booneville/Elkin area, one in Davidson Co. and one in an unknown area? One of the brothers may have moved to Iowa and then back to NC. I was told they were all preachers or pastors, etc., not sure what the Quakers call them. My great uncle told this to my father many years ago. Thanks for any help....
