Might there be 2 Mercer Hembree in Anderson Co, SC in the mid 1800s???
This is a puzzlement.
Mercer Benson Hembree (c:1817SC) appears in the 1850 with his wife listed as Mary Ann and children:
Twins: LL and ML, Wm B and S. J.
1870 list Mercer B and wife Mary Ann and twins S. Laurence and Mary L.
While the 1860 Census lists a Mercer and his wife as Polly and twins as Senith and Cynthia.
Has anyone out there looked at this and figured out whether, while there is only one Mercer (B) listed each year could there possible have been more than one????????
Any input appreciated.
