Thomas MORLEY
SOURCES: 1. Ancestral File for pedigree SURNAME: NEHGR states that his name is spelled variously, Morley, Marlow, Lorlow and Marlo in various records. Parentage uncertain per this record. Springfield Families states the same with respect to name, but references Wanwaring's Digest, Vol2, Pg. 261 which states that the name is "now" Morley.
BIRTH: This child's birth is not recorded with the others in the NEHGR reference. However, she is included as a family member in the Ordiance Index File. Perhaps she died young. We see no reason not to include her......Bla 04/07/02
Per the Springfield Families referenced, this child was named Mary. There is some indication that the Mary b. in 1686 died young, so this could have been the case. There is no further reference to this Mary or Mercy Morley.
