I think the Bridget in Overwharton who marries John Flitter is Bridget, the dau of Elizabeth Bridget and William. I get that she would be 11 for the birth of Winifred...if she was hers.... revolting by modern standards, but I have one other 11 year old that is heavily documented...??? Faintly possible... I do think the 1733 death is Wm Pow's wife Eliz Bridget...but, Bridget is not in the will...There is also Margaret who had a base born child and later married...there is the Mathew dead in 1716. He would have been 28 at his death and could have fit a few kids in before 1716. That would make the ladies a bit long in the tooth at marriage, but perhaps they were cross eyed or something...The Winnifred who married Oliver and names a kid Elisha rings all sorts of bells. Elisha Wood being a possible child of Joan Regan Wood...yeah, I know, John Wood leaves him in his "mother Margaret's care" blah! John also leaves Margaret and "her heirs" a lousey 50 acres when the man owned half a county. If harles2 was the father, and he died before 1716...we are in the same boat for the ladies being 30ish at marriage...not likely. The 1716 date is the start of the St Paul's Parish records. Of course, Charlie. could have lived elsewhere. I will say, we have not scrubbed the ground for siblings of JAmes such as nearby Dorchester MD, but let's keep going as we are and just acknowledge that there is another unidentified player/s in the mix as we leave MD for Stafford and then move out to NC. -----Original Message----- From: ragan-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ragan-roots-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of james garrett Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 9:12 AM To: ragan-roots@rootsweb.com Subject: [RAGAN-ROOTS] Charles Rgn b. 1692 As suggested there was likey a Charles who began having children by 1731 (Elizabeth) who was a 3rd Gen from James-1/Joan. IF this Charles was s/o Charles-2 b. 1692, the timeframe would not work. Given that Charles-2 was born 1692, his children would have been born no earlier than 1713. So if a Charles-3 was born say 1713 or 1714 this Charles-3 would not have children no earlier than 1734. So a 3rd gen Charles-3 (if son of Charles-2) would not work given that Elizabeth was b. 1731. But we do have Jemima & Jane who had to be born by 1728 given their marriage date of 1745 & 1746 respectively. Could these be Charles-2 daughters? But again there would be appox a 10-13 yr span from 1713 to abt 1726 depending when these girls were actually born. Charles-2 could have had other children born bet 1713 & 1728 that have not been found or recorded. Also the Winifred Rgn b. 1744 could not be the d/o Bridget b. 1733. Bidget would have only been 10 yrs old when she had Winifred. There was a Winifred & John Oliver whom had a daughter Elisha Oliver b. 1768. Could this Winifred be the Winifred Rgn b. 1744 md to an Oliver? Note that Jemima Rgn md a George Oliver in 1745. Also there was a Bridget Riggins (b. by 1738) who md a John Flitter 16 Mar 1755. to whom does she belong to? Is she the Bridget b. 1733?
