About Mercy Raymond
Excerpts from:The Chandler Family: The Descendants of William and Annis Chandler who settled in Roxbury 1637:
It was of her brother Joshua Raymond's wife, Mercy Sands- a woman of great thrift and energy- that the following story. a mixture of truth and fable, is told. Capt. Robert (in the ballad, but William in history) Kidd, the noted pirate, made the little harbor on Block Island where Joshua Raymond and his wife Mercy Sands lived, his anchorage ground- alternating with Gardiner's Bay, and she feasted him, supplied him with provisions, and boarded a strange lady whom he called his wife, a considerable time. When he was ready to depart, he bade her hold out her apron, which she did, and he threw in handsful of gold, jewels, and other precious commodities, until it was full as the wages of her hospitality. Hence the source of pleasantry and gossip among the acquaintances of the family, and hence they were popularly said to have been enriched by the apron.[ Caulkins's Hist. New London]
