Mercy Maker

Mercy Smith, daughter of Shubael Smith and Mary Smith, died as "the relict of Peter Newcomb" in 1724, so the 2nd wife of James Maker, Sr. must have been a different Mercy Smith (this profile).

Records

"James Maker and Mercy Smith were married by Jonathan Sparrow Esquire on the fifteenth day of February 1703/4."
