I'm wondering if someone with a Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania membership could do a lookup for me. I'm interested in the information on Thomas Mercer (1652-1716) found in Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine Issue 31:2 (membership required to view). I'm not sure what the content may be but it should be found somewhere in pages 114-121. It may give origins, dates of arrival "and other information" on various Friends. A screen capture or PDF of the relevant page(s) would be extremely helpful but if that is disabled from the page, whatever information is found there would be useful. Thank you!

The article is titled "Catalogue of Eighty-Seven Public Friends yt have Died in Pennsylvania since ye First Settlement of Friends there Read at ye Yearly Meeting, 1709".  The prologue states that it was originally published in two parts in Quaker History in 1913-1914--so they're public domain at the JStor links below!

part 1

“A CATALOGUE OF ‘EIGHTY-SEVEN PUBLICK FFRIENDS YT HAVE DYED IN PENSILVANIA SINCE YE FIRST SETTLEMENT OF FRIENDS THERE.’” Bulletin of Friends’ Historical Society of Philadelphia 4, no. 3 (1912): 140–47. http://www.jstor.org/stable/41944902.

part 2

“A CATALOGUE OF ‘EIGHTY-SEVEN PUBLICK FFRIENDS YT HAVE DYED IN PENSILVANIA SINCE YE FIRST SETTLEMENT OF FRIENDS THERE.’ [Continued].” Bulletin of Friends’ Historical Society of Philadelphia, vol. 5, no. 1, 1913, pp. 14–19. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/41944919. Accessed 6 Sep. 2022.


Thomas Mercer is in part 2, page 16 (which is page 120 of the Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine reprint; I confirmed they are the same entry.)

"Thomas Mercer of Andover in ye County of Wiltshire. He arrived about ye year 1682 or 1683 and died in ye year 1694."

Thank you, cousin!!smiley

Edit: Now we know it's the other Thomas Mercer in that citation which does help.
