SALE BILL: Felix Mercer 1877, Marion Co, KY Submitted by: Rita Fox Date: Sunday, May 24, 1998 2:16 PM This Marion Co. estate sale bill includes many names. My great-great-grandmother is Adeline (Mrs. Mike) MACKIN, the illegitimate daughter of Felix MERCER, the deceased. Some of the handwriting and words were difficult to decipher and I've indicated those with question marks and underlines. Laura SMITH may be Laura HENDERSON, who was listed as living with Felix in the 1860 census and in 1880 listed three of her children with the MERCER surname. Recorded in Inst. (?)
