Research Notes
Disputed Surname: "The Carr Family Records, in 1894, suggested she was probably Mercy Vaughan. It did not list parents or any reason for this designation.[2] Robert Charles Anderson explains that the surname "Vaughan is most likely an invention, derived from confusion with the fact that the stepfather of Caleb's second wife was William Vaughan."

("Here lieth interred the body of Mercy Carr, first wife of Caleb Carr, who departed this life the 21st day of September, in the 45th year of her age, and in the year of our Lord 1675.") The claim that Mercy's surname was Vaughan is most likely an invention, derived fron confusion with the fact that the stepfather of Caleb's 2nd wife was William Vaughan.
They had nine children: Nicholas, Mercy, Caleb, Samuel, Mercy Paine, John, Edward, & 2 sons who died in infancy.
