On his death bed his wife asked him what his real name was after being here in the U.S. for many years and he told her that " he lived a Patton he would die one" so he never told who he really was.
Now just like other stories being handed down in a family, there has to be some truth to it as Robert died in 1828 but then on the other hand after all these years there has never been anything to prove it wrong.

 Portrait of Johnny : The Life of John Herndon Mercer at World Class Cookies
In music historian and songwriter Gene Lees, Mercer has his perfect biographer, who deals tactfully but directly with Mercer’s complicated relationships with his domineering mother; his tormenting wife, Ginger; and Judy Garland, who was the great love of his life.
Lees’s highly personal examination of Mercer’s life is sensitive as only the work of a friend of many years could be to the conflicts in Mercer’s nature.
And it is filled with insights into Mercer’s work that could come only from a fellow lyricist (whose own lyrics were much admired by Mercer).

The decline of Mercer's fame roughly coincides with, as Lees puts it, the death of "the golden age of American songwriting" and the "rising tide of the meretricious" (read: rock and roll), and the book periodically gets bogged down in Lees's curmudgeonly grumblings about the superiority of the big band era.
Lees explores Mercer's halcyon childhood in Savannah, where he was exposed to the fl culture that informed his work; his struggles to establish himself on Tin Pan Alley; his Hollywood glory years; and his despair as his style of music gave way to rock and roll.
Lees was a friend of Mercer's and is a successful lyricist himself--circumstances that allow him especial insight into Mercer's personal and professional life.
