John Mercer
Minister of Methlic in 1597.
Moved to Slains in 1619 and is known to have been there until at least 1635.
Wife unknown
John had the following children:
- Robert Mercer (d:1641)
- James Mercer (Burgess of Perth in 1681. Commissioner of the Royal Burghs.)
- John Mercer (Army Major. Taken prisoner in 1641 during the Irish Rebellion.)
- William Mercer (b:1605.)
I wonder where I can find out more of John Mercer. I trace my ancestry back through him, and he appears to be the first in my line to live in Ireland. Are there any records of what happened to him after being taken prisoner on 1641?
