Mercy Marshfield

Notes:

The evidence that Mercy Jr was the daughter of Thomas Marshfield and Mercy Sr is circumstantial but Douglas Richardson in the American Genealogists makes a compelling case that she was. Furthermore, the marriage of John Dumbleton and Mercy Marshfield Jr is also based on circumstantial evidence (her husband could have been no other than John Dumbleton at that time in Springfield).

Mercy married John Dumbleton before 1650 in Springfield, Non-County Area 1, Massachusetts Bay Colony. John was born about 1625 in England; died on 27 Jul 1702 in Springfield, Hampshire Co, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
