married John Mercer
John and Rebecca (Davis) Mercer owned slaves.
They were fourth great-grandparents of the president and grandparents of Davis.
There were six slaves on Mercer land at Bohemia Hundred in Cecil County in 1790, 15 in 1800, and 18 in 1810.
Harriet and Ann Mercer were two of their children.
The Mercers and Davises descended from prominent families that began receiving land grants from the British Crown as early as the 1600s. There were kinfolk all across the Delmarva Peninsula of Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia.
