About Bridget Carter

John Carter (1574-1630) married his first wife c.1596. She was the sister of Gabriel Benion. Their parents were Thomas Benion and Isabel Higginson of Berkswell, Warwickshire. Her given name has not survived. She was the mother of all of John Carter's children. After she died, John married a second time, about 1625. His second wife's given name was Bridgett and her surname is not known. CAUTION: some web trees merge these two ladies into one person.

John Carter's will, written in 1630, names the second wife, Bridgett, but also names numerous children. Carter researchers believe that Miss Benion, the first wife, was the mother of all these children.
