I also descend from Capt. Henry Gilbert who married Elizabeth Belding (the dates are correct) and also through Mercy Gilbert and Samuel Barnes. But I show that Mercy was the fifth child, not the fourth. 1. Henry Gilbert b. 6 Jan 1683 2. John Gilbert b. October 1685 3. Elizabeth b. 2 March 1687/8 4. Samuel b. 7 Aug 1689 5. Mercy b. 1691 Is there a more specific date for the birth of Mercy?
