Facts and Events
Bridget's Family Name and Birth
Bridget was named as the widow of John Rowe in his probate record, as Brigitt Row.[5] Tingley seems to have been the first to have given her family name as Jeggles, her birth date as 10 June 1619, and her father as William Jeggles of Salem, Massachusetts.[2] Tingley gives no sources nor explantations for his information and has been proven to contain serious errors in other undocumented statements. This has not prevented his information from being copied widely and extensively, however.[1] More recent researchers have questioned Tingley's assertions.[3][4] Where alternate sources of documentation are unavailable, Tingley's information has sometimes been described as not just questionable, but "inventive",[8] and even "fraudulent".[9]
Not only is there no currently known reliable evidence that the wife of John Rowe was Bridget Jeggles, there is no currently known reliable evidence that William Jeggles had a daughter named Bridget.[6] Until such evidence is cited, Bridget's relationship to William Jeggles remains, at best, speculative.

"Torrey's suggestion, in brackets and with a question mark, that Ralph Green's wife was born a Jeggles probably comes from Raymon Meyers Tingley's Some Ancestral Lines (Rutland, Vt., 1935), pp. 164-65, which states that she was a daughter of William1 and Mary Jeggles of Salem. Tingley presents no evidence for this conclusion and his work is known to contain fraudulent data." [emphasis added]
