    Eleazer Pakcard [#759] m. (1) bef 25 Feb 1751 [birth of child] Mercy Richards, d/o Joseph Richards and Mercy Ford, b. Abington 15 Feb 1725/6 [Abington VR 1:195], d. Hardwick 1768 [NEHGR, 137:35, m. (2) Hardwick 9 Jun 1769 Mary Woodberry].
    [Note: The death date does not appear to be based on anything other than the 2nd marriage. NEHGR 137:35 is a correction to "Descendants of Andrew Ford", 119:118. The correction adds for Mercy, to the birth information given in the original article, her marriage and that she "d. ca. 1768/9". So although MF5G says she died 1768 with no qualification, it cites a source that says abt. 1768/9, i.e., no clear idea when she died, merely inferred from the 2nd marriage.]
