FORRISTER, Thankful and James Bridges, May 9, 1793.
↑ More work is needed to identify Thankful. She survived James. Southborough death records show the death of a Mrs. Bridges in 1813 in 64th y, so born about 1750 but it is not known if this is her (suspect not, probably the wife of James' son Josiah, who is himself close to this age, and died 1817 leaving no widow). There is a Thankful Jones who m. Holliston 1756 John Forristall and he d. 1785. On 4 Apr 1793 the account of John's estate was allowed and the widow "Thankfull Forester" was allowed the entire balance. This would free a new husband from assuming any obligation of the insolvent estate, and she looks like a good candidate to remarry in May 1793.
