In many genealogies i have seen they state that Mary (Mercy) Ferris B.1640 married Jonathan Lockwood and secondly Thomas merritt in 1696. This is not correct. The Mercy (Mary ) Ferris that married Thomas Merritt was not this Mary but the daughter or granddaughter of John Ferris her brother. Mercy(Mary) Ferris and Thomas Merritt had a family from whom I descend through their daughter Mercy Merritt who married Joseph Bloomer. I also notice other errors such as the other brother James marrying Mary Merritt but in fact it is not this James but his nephew or Grandnephew descended from his brother John Ferris, that marries Mary Merritt the sister of Thomas Merritt who married Mercy Ferris.
