Mercy Wilcoxson was married to Cornish and Mudge
Mercy, as she is more commonly seen as, but maybe Marcy, would have been only 12 years old if she married Samuel Humphrey, which she didn't. Mercy Wilcoxson married first, Gabriel Cornish, on about 10 Nov 1737 and had 8 children with him, and 1 child born 3 years after his death, out of wedlock. Her second marriage was to Ebenezer Mudge in 1771, and they did not have any children between them. This profile has the correct dates for Mercy, but not the correct husband(s), and it needs to either completely overhauled, or merged with the correct profile #LZDP-Z9P. It seems that Gabriel Cornish and Mercy Wilcoxson have been merged, deleted, given new names and spouses so many times that their original profiles have become almost obsolete.

How Sarah Cornish relates to Gabriel Cornish
Sarah Cornish was born three years after Gabriel Cornish died, therefore, obviously she is not his biological child. Her mother, Mercy Wilcoxson, probably bore her out of wedlock, and because Sarah bears the surname Cornish, which would have been her mother's name as a widow, there is probably not an unknown marriage for Mercy. About 1771, Mercy did marry again to Ebenezer Mudge, and that is the reason Sarah is sometime seen in the records as Sarah Mudge.
