Browsing the PAF at FamilySearch I found a discrepancy that I wanted to
ask about, regarding the mother of Experience Baker in the following
family. . . .
I was looking at this family:
Samuel Cash (AFN:10TW-1W) b.c.1696 Yarmouth, Barnstable, MA
m.9NOV1721 Yarmouth to

I had previously been informed that Experience's mother was Mercy
LAWRENCE.
The New England Families Genealogical and Memorial: Third Series, Volume
IV shows:
(I) Francis Baker, the immigrant ancestor of the Baker families of
Hyannis, Massachusetts, was born in England, and came from Great St.
Albans, Hertfordshire, England, in the ship "Planter" in 1635, when he
was twenty-four years old. He lived a few years in Boston and then
removed to Yarmouth, on Cape Cod. He married, in 1641, Isabel Twining,
and the historian of "Barnstable Families" tells us that their
descendants may be numbered by tens of thousands, and among them will be
found very many able seaman and good business men. He died in 1696, at
Yarmouth, at the age of eighty-four years. His will was dated March 4,
1693, and he bequeathed to all his children, excepting Samuel, who must
have died before him. He was a tailor by trade, but followed the trade
of cooper at Yarmouth. Children: Nathaniel, born in Boston, March 27,
1642.
Children, born at Yarmouth: John; Samuel, May 1, 1648; Daniel, September
2, 1650; William, mentioned below; Thomas, married Bathsheba (???);

(II) William Baker, son of Francis Baker, was born 1655,
died in 1727. He resided at Yarmouth. He married Mercy (???).
