Scott: I have never seen a reliable death date for Elizabeth (Mercer) Vestal. Perhaps others have. Where did you get 1725 as her death date? As to David being her son, once again I rely on EAQG, Vol. 1, page 366 which has David Vestal's entire family listed. It shows him as son of "Wm. & Elizabeth" and gives his birth date as 6-16-1736. It lists his wife Sarah, as daughter of "Anthony and Sarah Chamness" and says she was "b. 2-11-1742, Frederick Co., VA." It also lists their 13 children with birth dates. I hope this clarifies things for you.
