In 1638 Mercy the wife of John Bright was the sole executrix of her mother's Will.
In 1639 John Bright wrote his Will in which he bequeathed to his wife Mercie £10, also all the money that came from her mother, his best bed in the chamber over the hall and a fletch of bacon.
Unable to locate a burial record for Mercy. Mercy's second husband, Michael Beck, wrote his Will in April 1643 in which Mercy's name does not appear nor does any mention of his wife. Presumably she died any time between 1639 and 1643.
