Notes
General:
This is said to be Mercy Higgins, b. Eastham 20 Mar 1697, but my files have that Mercy married to Joshua Treat in 1720.
---------------------------------------------------
"It is not known whether she died or if Samuel divorced her. She drank heavily. She was the daughter of Isaac and Lydia Higgins. On two separate occasions she was in trouble with the authorities for her drinking.
"August 24, 1729
On the Same Day Mercy Smith, a member in full communion, having been overtaken once and again by strong drink, and used bad language, made a publick confession of her Sins, with expressions of repentance therfor, wherupon the Chh voted her restoration to full comunion on condition of her having continued first for [worn] quarter of a year free from anything appearing against her of a Scandalus nature, and exercising a conversation agreable to ye gospell."
"August 26, 1733
At ye above date Mercy Smith, having fallen again even a third time in to ye Scandolus Sin of excessive drinking. She made her publick Confession before ye congregation; and was so farr accepted into ye charity of ye chh as to prevent a formall admonition, yet to be Suspended till ye Pastor and chhy, shall think it proper to receive her again to full comunion."
