Extra Child of Rebecca (Harlow) Cushman

Question

On 14 Jun 2020 Sandra (Emmons) DeTora wrote on Harlow-92:

There is no evidence that Rebecca Harlow and Isaac Cushman had a child named Mercy Cushman. Her profile should be detached from this family.

I reshowed this hidden question to preserve a bit of history. The question is linked from a profile page and the thread contains useful information about this family that could arise again.

Answer 1

There is a record of Mercy, daughter of Isaac and Rebecca Cushman baptized in 1692 at Plymouth. Source:  Plymouth, MA: First Church Records, 1620-1859 from the Plymouth Church Records 1620-1859. CD-ROM. Boston, Mass.: New England Historic Genealogical Society; Colonial Society of Massachusetts, c2003. (Online database.

I wonder if Mary and Mercy are really the same person and should be merged together.

The Warren Silver Book does not list a child named Mercy, but it also doesn't list a baptism date for Mary.

There is a Plymouth VR for Mary Cushman, daughter of Isaac and Rebecca, born Oct 12, 1682. Page 320 of the Plymouth First Church records shows her baptism in 1682 as well.
