Biography

Birth

Bridget Dryden was the daughter of John Dryden, Gent., of Canons Ashby, Northamptonshire, and Elizabeth Cope.[1][2][3] Her date of birth is unknown and is estimated at about 1563.[3]

Bridget was a legatee in the 1584 will of her father.[1][2]

Marriages and Children

Bridget married first about 1587 Rev. Francis Marbury (or Merbury), Gent., third son of William Marbury, Gent., and Agnes Lenton.[1][2][3] Bridget was Francis' second wife, and he brought two daughters to the marriage, Susan and Mary.[1][2]

Rev. Francis Marbury died 12 February 1610/11, leaving a will dated 25 January 1610/11, proved 14 February 1610/11.[1][2]

Bridget married, secondly, about December 1620 (date if indenture before marriage), as his second wife, Rev. Thomas Newman.[1][2]

Death

Bridget's will was dated 12 February 1644/5 and administration was granted 2 April 1645.[1][2] Her husband was living at Berkhamstead, Hertford 5 December 1647,[1][2] which may be the place Bridget died, however, there is no source for her place of death.

Looks like it (Elizabeth) came in with a merge in 2017, with the following citation:

Highly unlikely she would have a middle name.
