Research Notes

The Dunham Genealogy Source states that John Dunham married in 1641, Dorothy (no last name given). No other marriages are mentioned, so we would assume she is the mother of their 12 children which includes Mercy born 25 July 1662. It also states that Mercy married Israel Hatch in 1693. No other sources found to confirm this marriage. Marriage to Joseph King is possibly a second marriage or perhaps there is another Mercy (or Marsy) Dunham as Joseph King is some 18 years younger than Mercy.
