Mercy Richardson was born on 09 January 1689/90 in Chelmsford, Middlesex, (then) Massachusetts Bay Colony, the daughter of Josiah and Mercy (Parish) Richardson.[1]
She married Ephraim Hildreth, the son of James and Margaret (Ward) Hildreth, possibly in Dracut or Chelmsford before January 1708, when their first child was born. No record of their marriage seems to be extant.[2]
Ephraim died on 26 Sep 1740 in Dracut. His widow Marcy died in Dracut on 25 December 1743 aged about 55 years.[3]
Children, first two born Chelmsford, rest in Dracut:
