• Notes

  From FindaGrave: The names Mary, Mercy, and Marcy were often used interchangeably in old records. WARNING : Some show Mercy's maiden name as Nye. This is an error. Mercy was misidentified in A Genealogy of the Nye Family (1907) and Thomas Tupper and His Descendants (1945). Genealogies of Mayflower Families (1985) found a deed dated 1704 which showed Mercy Nye as unmarried and caring for her parents, Benjamin and Katherine Nye. Furthermore, American Marriage Records before 1699 available on FamilySearch.org shows Matthias Ellis married Mary Burgess.
