Mary Mercer appears to be Mary Neville, the English bride of Ohio Company agent George Mercer. A contemporary marriage notice identifies his 1767 bride as Miss Neville of Lincoln; later accounts name her father Christopher Neville. They report her death in Richmond in 1768, but a scholarly study questions that account because George remained in London. Her birth year, reported Virginia visit and death circumstances therefore remain unsettled.
