There were two counties in Virginia named after General Hugh Mercer of Fredericksburg, who died at the Battle of Princeon, NJ, during the Revolutionary War. The first was formed in 1785 from Lincoln County and was in the part of Virginia that became Kentucky in 1792. The second was formed in 1837 from portions of Giles and Tazewell counties and eventually became Mercer County, West Virginia.
