Abigail Bowman m. 22 [sic] Mar 1719-20 Matthew Bridge, Jr.
[The basis for assuming 1719-20 is not clear, since the record in Lexington says 1719, and interpreting dates in March can be ambiguous. It is unclear if 22 Mar is an error by Bond, or if he had access to a different information source (he appears to have had access to some records not commonly available). The first child was born 18 Jul 1721, so either Bond's date provides a more typical pattern.]
