Family of Mercy Griffin Stevens

When we wrote the article on the family of Mercy Griffin (Mercy/Worden/Samuel/Samuel) and her husband Daniel Stevens the only early records we had was a baptismal record. Half of their children were all baptized the same day along with their father. We then had to use other sources and our best guess to assign them a birth date. Recently we have discovered their birth records as recorded by the town clerk. I enjoy reviewing the town records for Killingworth. The town clerks had a wonderful little habit of inserting family records in random spots within the records of the minutes of town business and deed records.
