This is a follow-up to the message I sent yesterday:
Mercer Co, KY
Will Book 10, page 505, written Mar 24, 1832, probated March, county court, 1837:
John Bridges' will:
sons:
John L.,
Thomas E.,
James,
Ambrose,
William,
Martin C.;
daughters:
Elizabeth Pherigo,
Polly Bottoms;
grand-daughters:
Eliza Bottoms and Nancy Bottoms, daughters of Turner and Nancy (Bridges) Bottoms.
NOTES:
Years ago a professional genealogist gave me the info I summarized on the webpage, including this summary of John's will.
I have no problem with the marriage to Hall Pierson because Mary Ligon had a sister Elizabeth married to Sherwood Peerson, and they had a son named Hall Peerson.
The name "Pherigo" in the will suggests that Elizabeth Bridges married a 2nd time to a Mr.____Pherigo (unless this is a corruption of Peerson).
I never saw or heard anything about a Stubbs connection in 35 years of research.
I am not going to tell you what to believe, but since you didn't send me a copy of the Stubbs will, I decided to send you this with the SOURCE so you can make your own comparison.
John
