comments

"First of all, the targetted list of Pilgrim marriages (see below) shows that the Pilgrim Lees were associated by marriage with Samuel Fuller. (He married Bridget Lee, daughter of Josephine Lee and sister of Samuel Lee.) "

Research Notes

Bridget's father's name is not known, only her mother's (whose profile's LNAB is wrong and should be Unknown). Formerly linked as Bridget's father was a "Joos Lee". This is a widely circulated error mistaking a short form of Josephine as the name of her father. The linked Joos profile is full of confused nonsense.

Another myth is that Bridget descends from the Hungerford family and royalty through this nonexistent "Joos", which is without foundation.

She may have not been born in The Netherlands, feel free to change whatever you know to be untrue about her
