    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth rec found and no proof that Mercy is a dau of Thomas Marshfield. A circumstantial case is presented in Douglas Richardson, "Thomas Marshfield's Wife Mercy; Did their Daughter Mercy Marry John Dumbleton?," TAG, 67(1992):11-14 (FHL #973 D25aga). The evidence centers around depositions in the slander suit of widow Mercy Marshfield v. Mary Parsons, 29 and 30 May 1649 (COLONIAL JUSTICE IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS (1639-1702): THE PYNCHON COURT RECORD [Cambridge, MA, 1961], 219 [FHL #974.4 P2c]). Mercy had recently arrived in Springfield from Windsor, Conn., and she had 3 children, one of whom, a dau, was married and recently had a child. Richardson suggests this dau was Mercy, wife of John Dumbleton, a family associated with the Marshfields in various capacities, and whose naming pattern is suggestive of a familial relationship to the Marshfields. Date and place of birth are approximations.
      MAR: See discussion, above.
      DEATH: Springfield Vital Records, 1:98 (FHL #185414).
