Deborah Goodridge

Note: RE: Wives of Benjamin Goodridge. According to many sources Benjamin Goodridge was the first husband of Mary Jordan, Deborah's sister, and that marriage is listed in the Newbury VR 1663. [1]

Other sources indicate Benjamin's first wife is not Mary Jordan, but is actually Deborah Jordan who died in 1676. Mary Jordan married John Kimble. Possibly a transcription error in Newbury Marriages? Anderson, R. C. Great Migration I-L indicates Benjamin married Deborah Jordan in 1663 and the will of Jane Jordan, clearly states, Deborah, now deceased, wife of Benjamin Goodridge. [2] [3] [4]
