  • Notes 
    • Mercy is a 5th-generation Mayflower descendant, through her mother Hannah (Church) Boomer.

      I am not sure if this birth date for Mercy is correct -- needs more research (source: Rootsweb's Worldconnect). "The Luther Genealogy" p. 188 says she was born 16 Nov 1694.

      Mercy is mentioned as Mary (or Marcy?) Luther in the will of her brother, Joshua Boomer. He also mentions his sister Mary Elsbree, so it is clear these are two sisters.

      Mercy was executor of her husband's will as of 1 Apr 1755. It appears that she died before 2 Nov 1756, as a document of that date appoints Elisha Mason of Swansea to be executor of Nathaniel's will, as his widow/executor Mercy Luther has since died. A Jan 1759 document refers to a legacy she and her husband had left for the care of their daughter Hannah, who is "non compos."
