NAME: Mercy or Mercia
BIRTH-MARRIAGE-CHILDREN: "Carpenters of the South, A Compendium," FHL-SLC, 929.273. "John Carpenter, born 13 June 1786, died 24 July 1861 in Marion County (W) VA, married first ___ ___ before 1812, second Mary Bunner on 10 Apr 1820, third Anne Clelland on 28 Aug 1826." See C-3, #1, page 1 in the files of Janet Gesas Hornick, Englewood, Colorado. NOTE: It would appear that Mary Bunner only gave birth to one child that lived, Mercy, born 11 June 1825. Mercy married Thornton Meyers Nuzum on 5 March 1850 and they had three children: J. Nelson, Richard Ferman, and T.M. Nuzum. [See below for more children.]
BIRTH-PARENTS-MARRIAGE-CHILDREN-DEATH-BURIAL: Patty Carpenter Helms sent a Gedcom in 1998 that reported: "Mercia Carpenter, b. June 11, 1825 in Marion County, W(VA), d. December 25, 1915; bur. in Nuzum Cemetery 1, Marion County, WV; m. 3 Mar 1850,in Marion County, W(VA) to Thornton Meyer Nuzum." Mercia was shown as the only child of John S. Carpenter, Jr. and Mary Bunner. NOTE: On 10 Dec 1999 Patty wrote, "In Mercia's obituary, although it does not list her parents, she died in December 1915 and she is listed as 89 years old. Mercia dob is given as June 11, 1826. That would put her year of birth at 1825 or 1826." On 17 July 2001 Patty wrote: "I have a correction for you concerning Mercia Carpenter she was the daughter of John & I had Mary Bunner as her mother, but I believe that is wrong. Mercia had a half sister named Elmira that married Owen McGee. Elmira I feel sure is the daughter of Mary Bunner. I am not sure whether Mercia is the daughter of Joanna McGee or Anna Clelland." NOTE: Jan Hornick placed her with Anna Clelland, however if she were born in 1825 as reported, it would appear that she would more likely be Mary Bunner's daughter.
BIRTH-FATHER-MARRIAGE-CHILDREN-DEATH: "The Nuzum Family History," 1983 Revised; FHL 979.273 N979n, pages 11, 19 and 20. NOTE: This source reported "Mercia, 6/11/1825-12/25/1914, dau. of John Carpenter." See N-5.
BIRTH-DEATH: "Marion County, West Virginia Death Records," FHL 975.454 V23m, Vol. 4, page 1131: "Nuzum, Mercia, b. 12 June 1825, d. 25 Dec. 1914, at Boothsville, W. Virginia. (married)."
MARRIAGE-CHILDREN: Information from 1996 Edition of Ancestral File. NOTE: Seven children are listed. NOTE ALSO: Birth given as 1822 which conflicts with the above sources.
MARRIAGE: FHL Film 464.957, Marion County Cemetery Records and Marriages 1842-1865; A, 35: "Thornton Nuzum and 'Masse' Carpenter, 5 March 1849." See Notebook I, page 110. CONFLICT: The above record differs by one year.
BIRTH-PARENTS: Information via e-mail from Alan Bunner, 7200 Burtonwood Drive, Alexandria, VA 22307; Alan.Bunner@hq.nasa.gov, 1 Nov 1999: "Mercy Carpenter, born 1827, was a child of John Carpenter's third wife, Anna Clelland, not Mary Bunner, I think." CONFLICT: Birth year given as 1827, which would likely make Mercy/Mercia a daughter of Anna and John vs. Mary Bunner and John; however, it is in conflict with several sources above.
CENSUS: 1910 West Virginia, Marion County Census; FRC, enum. 4 May 1910: "Nuzum, Ann, Head, 39, Wid, one child born, one living (?ble - the preceding was hard to read); Osha (?)

On 3 Nov 2002 Kathy wrote: " I pulled out my Banks District Cemetery Readings (which I should have done in the first place) and there are two Mary Martin's one a child the other I am guessing an adult buried next to Levi J Smith, who would be her brother, with her parents and sister buried in same area of Rock Cave Cemetery. It makes sense that this would be her. Now question is who is Mary Martin child buried next to her?? I think John T's reference to El Dorado might be where F H is buried." Thus, it appears Mary may have died in Upshur County.
