   Mercy Dunham, d/o John Dunham and Dorothy ---, b. 25 Jul 1662, m. 1693 Israel Hatch.
   [The TAG article ^S1 suggests virtually all this information is incorrect. The John Downam who m. Dorothy lived in Braintree was a different family, which is clearly shown by the birth records found in that town. Israel Hatch can be shown to have married his cousin Elizabeth Hatch in 1699 with no evidence of a marriage to Mercy (Mercy shown by a deed from her mother to be unmarried on 20 Mar 1698/99, and Elizabeth (Hatch) Hatch did not die until 1733). If the parents are wrong, and the husband is wrong, it is not clear how one can trust the birth date represent the correct person.]
