Disputed Origins

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-475026

Mercy Unknown was possibly related to the Winslow family . Some online family trees indicate she was the daughter of Kenelm Winslow, who married Malatiah White circa 1705 and had a child on March 17, 1706[1]. This information is inconsistent with the facts. Since Mercy Ellis was Freeman's wife when he wrote his will in 1710 and when it was proved in 1728, she could not have been Mercy Winslow, the wife of Malatiah White. Nor could she have borne the older children of Mercy Winslow and Malatiah White.
