Notes about Mercy Spencer

[[Category:East Greenwich, Rhode Island]]
== Biography ==Mercy Spencer was born 20 December 1757 in East Greenwich, Kent County, Colony of Rhode Island. Her parents were [[Spencer-1942|Nathan Spencer]] and [[Briggs-1023|Susannah Briggs]].''Rhode Island: Vital Records, 1636-1850'' (Online database: AmericanAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2014), Originally Published as: ''Vital record of Rhode Island 1636-1850: First Series: births, marriages and deaths: a family register for the people'' by James N. Arnold. Providence, RI: Narragansett Historical Publishing Company. [https://www.americanancestors.org/DB532/i/14341/2-152/0/ Kent County - V1, Part 2 (East Greenwich), page 2-152. Subscription.]

*Birth Date: Was 20 December 1759. The only record of her birth date is from Arnold's "Vital Record of Rhode Island..." which recites the year 1757. That causes a conflict with brother William's birth date of 12 July 1758, just 6-1/2 months. From a logical view, 1759 makes more sense, and a 9 could easily be mistaken for a 7. However, there doesn't seem to be an image of the actual entry in the East Greenwich town records. Until that happens, the birth date must remain 1757 with the conflict noted.
