Probate

The will of James Bridges has bequests for the following persons: son Moody, son James, daughter Sarah Bridges, daughter Chloe Bridges, son John. There may be a page of the will missing. No wife is mentioned in the part that is available. In other parts of the probate record mother Mary Bridges is referred to and is clearly still living after the time of the probate. The daughter Mary also appears elsewhere in the probate record. There is a record of the daughter Eleanor marrying in 1755 so she is also still living. All the children are accounted for except the unnamed daughter born in 1726 who is assumed to have died as an infant. There is also a guardianship probate record related to the minor children.
