URL title: John Mercer

John Mercer, Gentleman, (February 6, 1704/5 - October 14, 1768), prominent attorney-at-law, lived at Marlborough which had been the county seat of Stafford County 1691-1718. The planned port of entry at the Town of Marlborough was not a success and Mercer, after gaining title to all the town lots and a considerable acreage adjoining in Potomac Neck, established himself there. He married first on June 10, 1725 Catherine Mason (June 21, 1707-June 15, 1750) only child of Colonel George Mason (16??-1716) and his second wife Elizabeth Waugh, daughter of the Reverend Mr. John Waugh. About 1744 Mercer began construction of a handsome brick residence at Marlborough and here, his journal and account books indicate, he lived in the height of style. Mercer married secondly on November 10, 1750 Anne Roy (17??-1770), daughter of Doctor Mungo Roy of Essex County. John Mercer had a large family concerning whom considerable has been written. There is a detailed account of his family in The Virginia Genealogist, Volume 3, page 99 et seq.

After Charles Dick opened his store, John Mercer made the 15-mile trip to town more often. He combined business with pleasure, attending the fairs, placing orders, and staying with his new friend. They soon developed a closer bond.

In 1740 (or possibly earlier), as he returned from a southern trip, John Mercer paid a call on Dr. Mungo Roy, who had lived in Essex County since the 1720s.

Roy is accounted in the Mormon records to have been born in Scotland in 1698. He is listed as one of 14 headrights (each right allowing 50 acres) on a patent granted to Robert Beverley in 1731 for more than 4,000 acres in King and Queen and Caroline counties. But the date of the patent merely indicates the date on which the right was used. Beverley had evidently been collecting some unclaimed rights from his friends.

In any case, Roy had been in Essex for some time, often in court--no doubt suing patients who did not pay their bills--and was well-established, named as an executor in the wills of some prominent Essex men.

(But we are challenged to determine whether he remained in Essex or is the Mungo Roy who was a church warden in Drysdale Parish in Caroline County about 1745. There were namesakes in each generation.)

Charles Dick's interest turned into courtship. In April 1750, he married Roy's daughter Mary. Mercer was still married to his first wife, but there had been no children after 1743, and she was perhaps in poor health from childbearing.

All three of Mercer's older sons were now pursuing a path that their father no doubt approved, proceeding from the College of William & Mary to military service on the frontier under George Washington. In 1758, John Fenton was brutally killed by Indians.

Dr. Mungo Roy also died in that year, and this would lead to the involvement of both John Mercer and Charles Dick in the wellbeing of his survivors in the years ahead.

Recorded in liber L, folio 132, a book found among the records of Charles County Court; also the deed or assignment of William Moss to George Mason, recorded in liber Z, folio 291; and the enrolment of a deed from Humphrey Aspinall to Elizabeth Swinburne, found in said last mentioned liber Z, at page 196, (the said liber Z being one of the land records of Charles tbounty,) and which last mentioned deed, from said Aspinall to Swinburne, immediately precedes the enrolment in said record of said deed from Moss to Mason.
Capt. Robert Collson, in the behalf of Col. Geo. Mason, desires the two deeds following to be recorded, the said Col. Mason living in the Colony of Virginia."
The first was the deed aforesaid of 1st March, 1684, to which no certificate of acknowledgment was appended, though certified to be a copy by the clerk of Charles County Court, &c.
The deed from William Moss to George Mason, dated 18th Jane, 1705, was in confirmation of a conveyance to Elizabeth Swinburne, from Humphrey Aspinall, to which no acknowledgment was appended, nor did it appear when recorded.
And the plaintiff further offered to accompany said deeds, •*•" by reading in evidence a duly certified copy or extract of the rent-rolls of Maryland, shewing Wicksall and Aspinall's Hope to have been in possession of Col. Mason, of Virginia. Acres, 200.- Yearly rent, " 4 "- ' Wicksall,' surv'd 3rd Feb'ry, 1667, for Thos. Allanson, assigned John Hitchinson, on the S. side St. Michael's Creek, formerly called Chingomuxon - Poss'r Coll.
Mason, in Virginia - This land is said to be escheat.''
In testimony that the aforegoing is a true copy from old rent-roll, No. 1, for Saint Mary's and Charles Counties, folio 353, one of the records belonging to, and remaining in the Western Shore Land Office of Maryland,

Reg'r Land Off., W. S., Md. "
Acres, 150. - Yearly rent, " 6 "- * Aspinall's Hope,' surv'd 12th Feb'y, 1667, for Henry Aspinall, at a b'd oak, a b'd tree of a parcel of land called ' Wicksall,' on the S. side Chingomuxon Creek. - Poss'r Col. Mason, in Virginia. - This land is said to be escheat, and is escheated into Nonesuch

the will of George Mason, of Virginia, dated 29th January,
1715, which contained the following devise: "
Item. I give and bequeath unto my son, Thomas Mason, all the land which I bought of William Moss, in Maryland, and all the land that I bought of Michael Vanlandegham, in Stafford County, to him and his heirs forever."
This will was admitted to probat in Virginia, 14th Nov. 1716, and certified from the records of Court there, to be a true copy ; and also certified, by the presiding Jndge, under the Act of Congress, as in due form, and by the proper officer.
And farther offered in evidence, that the said Geo. Mason, the testator, left at his death, as issue of his third wife, two infant sons, named Thomas and Francis, and their sole sister of the whole blood named Sarah - that said Thomas and Francis died while infants without issue, leaving their said sister Sarah as their sole heir-at-law, which said Sarah Mason intermarried with Thomas Brooke, and was with her said husband in the possession of the lands in dispute, whom she survived, and died previous to the year 1786, leaving surviving her, Walter Brooke, her eldest son, and Richard Brooke, her grandson, by Richard Brooke her second son, which said Richard, sou of said Sarah, died previously to said Sarah ; and the plaintiff further offered in evidence, that the lands in dispute were possessed by said Sarah during her life, and by said Walter Brooke, after her death, and that after his death, in 17U8, the same were possessed by Walter D. Brooke, the eldest son of said Walter, until his death, in 1811, and from that time by the widow of said Walter D. Brooke, in behalf of his children, until 1824, when the deed to Lot Mason was executed; and farther gave evidence to shew, that some of the lessors of the plaintiff are the heirs-at-law of said Walter Brooke, and that others of them are the heirs-at-law of said Walter D. Brooke.
To the whole of which evidence, as above offered, the defendant objects; but the Court overruled said objection, and permitted the deeds, aforesaid, and will to be read in evidence, so far as they purport to convey or devise the tracts of land called " Wicksall " and " Aspinall's Hope," as located, by the patents thereof, on the plots in this cause; and the Court, [STEPHEN. C. J., KEY and DORSET, A. J..] allowed all the other evidence so offered to be given in evidence, and upon the said evidence so admitted, the Court .instructed the jury as follows: that if the jury find, from the evidence aforesaid, that the said Geo. Mason, the above testator, and those claiming under him, * were in the exclusive, uninterrupted and adverse possession of the said tracts of land called "Wicksall" and " Aspinall's Hope," from the date of said deed from Moss to said Mason, claiming under said deed, down to the year 1824, then the jury may and ought to presume regular conveyances from the original patentees of said tracts of land to the said Geo. Mason and his heirs ;
