I just started researching this family and I have a problem with the information that I found in the process...I hope someone has the answer. These are Hummmmmmmmmmmmm Questions:
1. Richard Cottrell married Judith Smith on 14 Feb 1733
(Per: Henrico Co, VA - Bible Records - Richard Cottrel) (Source: Library of Virginia Digital Collections)
2. Richard and Judith's last child, Jacob, was born 29 Apr 1753
(Per: Henrico Co, VA - Bible Records - Richard Cottrel) (Source: Library of Virginia Digital Collections)
3. Richards' wife Judith died 02 May 1778
(Per: Henrico Co, VA - Bible Records - Richard Cottrel) (Source: Library of Virginia Digital Collections)
4. Richard Cottrell married Mary Alley in 1753
(Per: The Compendium of American Genealogy; The Standard Genealogical Encyclopedia of The First Families of America;; Volume VI; 1937; Pg 517)
(This would be approx 1-8 months after his last child with Judith)
Here's the Questions:
Is the death date wrong for Judith or did he get a divorce from her before he married Mary Alley???
I didn't run into Judith being an Indian Princess, but I did find the book: "Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography" Volume V; Pg 1065; which states: "Richard Cottrell, married for his first wife an Indian maid, Judith Smith, at Jamestown Island, Virginia. His second wife was a Miss Alley...So, is the book wrong?
As stated by another researcher on this forum, Judith wasn't an Indian...How do you know this???
Any help you can give me with this is appreciated.
