I'm from this line too and have quite a bit of information, but don't want to overpost... If Dorothy or anyone else needs info, I'm be glad to share & compare. I'm new to this list, but have corresponded with a number of you on my WV roots... My lines from Mercer/ Giles/ Tazwell include Vest, Bailey, Belcher, Ferguson, Walker, Shrewsbury, Godfrey... I have an Uncle who came from the French family and it ties into the Clay family which ties into my Bailey/ Belcher ancestors... Daniel Smith- Northridge, CA [email protected]
