Disputed Info

Please submit sources for the Richard Perrin & Ann Gros Marin marriage. Would it be Ann "Little Flower" who married the Marin? - It has been proven that Richard Perrin was actually the son of this Anne Perrin because she managed his estate upon his death. This would also indicate that he didn't have a wife or children.

In Sept 1732, Thomas Cardwell of Henrico sells to Joseph Mayo of same for 57 $ tract where said Thomas and HIS MOTHER ANN MARRIN, now live.

The will of ANN MARTEN in 1736 names SON THOMAS CARDWELL.
