Subject: [PLY/MA] Mercy WADSWORTH ca. 1775-1780

Wareham VR in MD 32:188 Jesse Muxham (Maxim, Maxham, etc.) and Mercy
Wordsworth (Wadsworth), she of Plymouth, int's 1796.

I have from John A Leppman, "The Maxim-Maxham-Maxam Family," TAG Vol. 57
that Mercy had several children including a Zilpha Maxim, a Pelham Wadsworth
Maxim and a Prince Wadsworth Maxim.

These names lead me to suspect that Mercy may be the daughter of Prince
Wadsworth of Duxbury and Zilpha Ellis of Plymouth, int's May 3, 1766
(Plymouth VR pub. in MD 26:86). Zilpa Ellis had a brother Pelham.

Does anyone know of a record to prove whether this is true?
