One of my E-Mail correspondents has an ancestor who was about the same age as Edward. His name was Richard Mercer/Messer. He married Hannah Shatswell of Hingham, MA. They lived in Haverhill, MA where Richard died on April 29, 1671. He possibly was the son of Abiel who came from Dunstable, England on the "Defense". This branch of Mercers who changed their spelling to Messer, lived in Hingham, Haverhill, Methuen, and Andover, Massachusetts and then moved to New Hampshire and Maine. (C-722)
