Bush’s long-ago Walker-and-related forebears, along with some of their cousins and in-laws, owned plantations and farms at Sassafras Neck in Cecil County, Md. This is a narrow strip of land between the Bohemia and Sassafras rivers, which flow into Chesapeake Bay.
The pages of the nation’s earliest Census enumerations offer this testimony, which has been independently compiled:
• Robert and Ann (Bolton) Mercer owned slaves.
They were fifth great-grandparents of the president and great-grandparents of Bloomington’s Judge David Davis, who helped put Abraham Lincoln in the White House.
In 1790, there was an Ann Mercer in Cecil County at the West Sassafras Hundred election district. She headed a household of one free white male age 16 or over, one free white male under 16, two free white females, and five slaves. Mercer had been widowed for about two decades.
