About Bridget Clifford
Evidence needed to support as child of Henry Green & Joan Green. “ There was a prominent Judge in Hampton, NH named Henry Green but their resepctive ages suggest that if they were related, that he was more likely her bro. and not her father.“
Bridget was born circa 1615[1] and died in Hampton, Rockingham co., NH in 1679/80 (Torrey claims 1686); she was 64[1,3]. Her birthdate is estimated from two depositions: one in October 1659, in which she gives her age as "about 44" and the other in June 1673 where she gives her age as "about 56". Bridget's will (as widow of John Clifford) is dated 1 September 1679 and was proved 26 August 1680. Bridget was admitted as a member of the Church at Hampton, NH on 18 September 1671[1].
John Clifford, born in England, in 1614; married, first, Sarah ; second, Sept. 28, 1658, Mrs. Elizabeth Kichardson, who died Dec. 1, 1667; third, Feb. 6, 1672, Mrs. Bridget Huggins, widow of John Huggins (1). He died Oct. 17, 1694, "aged eighty years" (Town Records).

Disputed Origins
There are no quality sources showing that Bridget was the daughter of Henry Green and mother Joan Groves, with several sources showing her last name as unknown.[1][2][3]
One possible explanation of her last name being given as Green, with her father being Henry, may be a misreading of a court case in Essex. On October 10, 1659, Bridget [Huggins] testified about the daughter of Henry Green. GDMNH's abbreviations could have been misinterpreted. GDMNH says this about Huggins' wife: "W. Bridget, ± 44 in 1659, dep. in Essex Ct. ab. Henry Green's dau."[1]
The court records say this: "Bridgid Huggins, aged about forty-four years, testified that being desired by Goodwife Green to look at her child's leg, she found it very much swollen, red and raw and not much better than when she went to the Bay. This was about a week after the child's return. Sworn in Hampton court, 6:8: 1659, before Tho. Bradbury,* rec." [4]
Notes
John Clifford married his third wife, February 6, 1672, Mrs. Bridget Huggins, widow of John Huggins1. He died Oct 17, 1694, "aged eighty years" (Town Record ) [6]

Notes
BIRTH: Warner, Frederick Chester, WARNER-HARRINGTON ANCESTRY; 1500-1925; Privately pub'd, Boston, 1949, Vols I thru IV, (LDS Film #186101); p 344; Forbes Library, North Hampden, Hampshire Co., MA.
DEATH: Warren, Thomas B., SPRINGFIELD FAMILIES;Copied by Mercy Warren Chapter, 1934-1935, privately pub'd, Vol. 1 (A-E), p 375; LDS Film #14787, Family History Library, Salt Lake City, UT. NOTES: 1) This is the only source which does not offer the date of Bridget Huggins Clifford's wills as the date of her death: 1 Sep 1679, 26 Aug 1680 and 23 Aug 1686; 2) The SPRINGFIELD FAMILIES work was a primary source ref. for Torrey's NE MARRIAGES PRIOR TO 1700.
RELATIONSHIP-NAME: EAM Ref: p 10. CAUTION: EAM states that Esther's mother was Bridget Green. Extensive research by contributors Carole Blanscet and Liz Austin Carlin have been unable to prove that Esther Huggins' mother was surnamed Green. There was a prominent Judge in Hampton, NH named Henry Green but their resepctive ages suggest that if they were related, that he was more likely her bro. and not her father.
MARRIAGE: Marr2 to John Clifford, 6 Apr 1671, Hampton, NH; her neighbor in Hampton.
