Notes

MERCER, John Francis, governor of Maryland, was born at Marlborough, Stafford county, Va., May 17, 1759; son of John (q.v.) and Ann (Roy) Mercer. He was graduated at the College of William and Mary in 1775, entered the Revolutionary army as lieutenant in the 3d Virginia regiment, Feb. 26, 1776, and was wounded at the battle of the Brandywine, Sept. 11, 1777. He was promoted captain in the 3d Virginia regiment in September, 1777, to rank from June 27, 1777, and was aide-de-camp to Gan. Charles Lee, 1778-79. After the battle of Monmouth he resigned from the army through his sympathy for General Lee. He returned to Virginia where he recruited and equipped at his own expense a troop of cavalry of which he was commisioned lieutenant colonel in October, 1780. He joined Gen. Robert Lawson's brigade and served at Guilford, N.C. When Lawson's brigade disbanded, he attached his command to Lafayette's army and served until after the surrender at Yorktown. He studied law directed by Thomas Jefferson, resided on his estate "Marlboro'" on the Potomac, and was a delegate from Virginia to the Continental congress, 1782-85. He removed to his wife's estate "Cedar Park," West River, Arundel county, Md., in 1785, and was a delegate from Maryland to the convention that framed the Federal constitution in 1787, but with George Mason of Virginia, Luther Martin of Maryland, and others, he refused to sign the instrument as framed on account of its consolidation tendencies. He was a reproductive in the Maryland legislature for several sessions; a represenative in the 2d congress to fill the unexpired term of William Pinknay, resigned, and to the 3d congress, his service in congress extending from Feb. 6, 1792, to April 13, 1794, when he resigned. He was elected governor of Maryland, Nov. 9, 1801, by the Democratic party and served one year, after which he was again a representative in the state legislature. He was married, Feb. 3, 1785, to Sophia, daughter of Richard and Margaret (Caile) Sprigg, of West River, Md. Their daughter, Margaret (1791-1846), known as the "Hannah More of America," freed the slaves she inherited, became a teacher, and converted "Cedar Park" into a school for girls which she conducted for over ten years, then removed to Franklin, near Baltimore, and afterward to Belmont, near Leesburg, Va., where she died. His grandson, William Roy Mercer, son of John, was living in Doylestown, Pa., in 1902. Governor Mercer died in Philadelphia, Pa., while under medical treatment, Aug. 30, 1821.[p.344]
