I can't find a source for her birth, but is Judith Marchant, Marchant-247, potentially a child of Daniel and Hannah?

"Massachusetts Town Deaths Index, ca. 1640-1961", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FH1T-TL4 : 23 October 2020), Judith Marchant, 1772.

Merchant-633 and Marchant-527 appear to represent the same person because: These two men are married to the same woman. It needs to be determined the correct LNAB and the correct date of death. Still same person.
