Biography

The Birth Date is a rough estimate. See the text for details.
This profile is part of the Garrigues Name Study.
Polly Garrigues is the descendant of a Huguenot emigrant.

She was the daughter of James Garrigues.

Notes

"The Descendants of Matthieu and Susanne (nee Rochet) Garrigues..."[1] has both Mary Garrigues (abt.1747-1792) and Polly Garrigues as dying on 29 May 1792. Edmund Garrigues had only Polly Garrigues.

I think these are both the same event and only one of these women died on that date (Polly is a nickname for Mary).

Arch Street Quaker Records[2] show a Mary Garrigues dying on 5-28-1792 at the age of 45, meaning she was born about 1747.

I also found this

Mary Garrigues Interment

which seems to be the ultimate source. Given that Polly Garrigues's father, James Ralph Garrigues (1749-1812) was born in 1749, This can't be her, so I'm removing the death date from Polly.

We also don't have a birth date, so I gave her an estimate of 1770 when her father was 21 years old.

It's also possible that she never existed given that we don't have a birth date or a death date or basically any source other than Edmund Garrigues.

Sources

  1. "The Descendants of Matthieu and Susanne (nee Rochet) Garrigues..." by Robert Garrigus; Columbia MD: 2003. Best, most-recent research into the Garrigues family. [ This document consistently fails to convert Julian dates to Gregorian dates properly. i.e., 13th day, 7th month, 1743 is listed as July 13, 1743 when 7th month actually referred to September, so this date is September 7th in the Julian calendar and September 24th in the Gregorian calendar. --- Chris Garrigues]
