Elizabeth and Mary: Children of Ebenezer and Mary? [5 November 2009]

Early children of Ebenezer and Mary are not clearly documented in Arnold's Vital Records, but there is some good evidence to indicate Elizabeth (b. 6 Jan 1676) and Mary (b. June 1679) are Ebenezer and Mary's daughters. See Source:Vital Record of Rhode Island, 1636-1850, Jamestown Births and Deaths, p. 26, where the list of early Slocum births begins with Elizabeth. Is there another Slocum family in Jamestown at this time who are thought to be Elizabeth and Mary's parents? The later Mary (b. 14 Sep 1693) is noted in the Slocum genealogy as Mercy and her death is shown in Arnold as under the name Mercy (d. Jan 14, 1714)
