Mercy Sly

1752 - Yes, date unknown

• Name	Mercy Sly  [1]
  Born	3 Jan 1751/52  [1]
  Gender	Female
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	NOTE: The Benjamin Appleby/Mercy Sly family is poorlydocumented. Problems would seem to be indicated in thatMercy was born 3 January 1751/52.  Thus she would havebeen about 52 when Josiah Kelsey Applebee was born in1803.  I feel it is probably the either (1) there arechildren including Josiah placed in this family that belongelsewhere or (2) there are from one to several improperlyrecorded children's birth dates.
