Hi Judy - I was wondering if you got any answers to your post. I am in contact with several people (including Owen Mercer and his daughter, Ginny, my second cousin) who are gathering information on the Mercer clan. There is so much more available now that 20 years ago when I researched the book on the Newton Family History. I recently found a copy of T. LIllie Mercer's passport application.

I posted a response to someone who responded to your post, but included incorrect information in the first line. T. Lillie Mercer, of course, was born in 1842 in MA, not in 1872 in England. The Thomas LIllie Mercer born in 1872 was the son of Andrew Valentine Mercer and Isabella Newton Mercer (he died in 1950).

I do have a lot of information if anyone is still interested in more about this branch of the family.

I also have a question for you about something in your family if you'd get in touch. Thanks.
