Mercy, first wife of Edward Denison, remains enigmatic. Perhaps a Mercy Hedge married Edward Denison 20 Nov 1701 in Yarmouth, though no source is known, and would not explain how Edward of Stonington married in Yarmouth anyway. Some trees have a daughter of Elisha Hedge (1642-1732) and Mercy Sturgis (1648-1713) marrying Edward, but proof is lacking.
Whoever she was, she was alive Oct 18 1715, when she signed a legal document, and died before Mar 2 1718, when Edward remarried. Their children (Denison), with approximate birth dates from Denison Genealogy, were:
Edward 1699, died young
John 1701–1777 m four times
Elisha 1703–1714
Mary 1705– m Benj. Billings
Desire 1707-1740 m Jabez Smith
Abby 1709- m Andrew Galloway

The will of Elisha Hedge, d. 1732, mentions the children of his daughter Mercy Denison. (I have not seen the original will, but some information from it is published in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 74). The wife of this Elisha was named Mary, but there is no proof she was Mary Sturgis. See Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Begins, sketch on Elisha's father William Hedges. - Allan G
