Hi.
I've tried to track infomration to straighten out Mercy STELLE/HULL. I've found conflicting sources and having a hard time straightening out what is right & wrong. The Julian calendar does come into play here, and also how precise people are remembering when they are born. ( Yet alone read & write).
Rachel STELLE was the daughter of Benjamin STELLE and Mercy HULL. Rachel STELLE was born Dec. 11, 1720 in Piscataway, NJ. She died March 6, 1791 in Monmouth Co., NJ. She married to Ephram FITZRANDOLPH on July 11, 1752 in Monmouth Co., N.J. he was b: about 1720. ( Don't have info on him).
I don't have any info if Rachel STELLE married a second time to a Benjamin Dunn.
There is a Mercy HULL which is mentioned above.
There is a Mercy HULL that was born January 22, 1683/84 in Piscataway that married a Thomas PYATT on Feb 01, 1698.
There is A Mary HULL that was born Feb. 4, 1681/82 in Piscataway that married a Jacob Pyatt in 1703.
I have John DUNHAM b Jul 08, 1705 marrying Mercy HULL in October of 1729.
Now you know where conflicts are coming into play. Here is a list of some of my sources. I'm trying to sort out this conflicting information.

NJ Historical Proceedings Vol. IV, Piscataway NJ, 1919

According to other information I have, the marriage of Mercy Hull to John Dunham entwines two Mayflower lines coming from Edward Fuller's son Samuel Fuller and George Soule. an article was written by a man by the name of Orra Monnette.
There is another family by the name of EVERITT from New Jersey that married into the HULL line (which is how I'm connected).
Edward FULLER of Mayflower died in 1621 first winter. His son
Samuel FULLER m Jane LOTHROP
Hannah FULLER m Nicholas BONHAM
Mary BONHAM m Rev. Edmund DUNHAM
Benajah DUNHAM m Dorothy MARTIN
John DUNHAM m Mercy DRAKE
Anne DUNHAM m Lieut. Issac HULL
John HULL m Susan VAUGHN
Maj. John HULL m Catharine WESTBROOK and 2nd Anne SCOTT
Susan HULL m Matthew EVERITT
George SOULE m Mary BECKETT
Elizabeth SOULE m Francis WALKER
Francis WALKER Jr. m Anne UNKNOWN
Anne WALKER m Joseph DRAKE
Mercy DRAKE m John DUNHAM
Anne DUNHAM m Lieut. Issac HULL
( This connecting 2 Mayflower families according to Orra Monnette of the California Scoiety of Mayflower Descendants in 1931).
