Biography
Mercy Sherman was likely the youngest child of John Sherman and his second wife Mary Launce, born in the 1660's. [1]
In her father John's will written on August 6, 1685 and proved on October 6 of that year, he names all his children including daughter Mercy. [1]
She married Samuel Barnard at Watertown on April 4, 1700. [2] Samuel was born on March 25, 1664, son of John and Sarah (?Cutting [2]/Fleming[1]) Barnard.
- 1712: December 4: Her brother James Sherman, as surviving executor of their father's estate listed the legacies paid according to John's will, including Mercy Barnard, wife of Samuel Barnard, L20. [1]
- 1712: December 26: Samuel Barnard of Watertown, husband of John Sherman's daughter Mercy, objected to the accounting by James Sherman, indicating that James had not had the full authority to sell his father's lands, and that Mercy had not received her full L20 share. [1]
Mercy and Samuel were still living in February, 1728/9. [1]
