James Bristow

Parents of James George Bristow were John Bristow and Michal Nicholls. James was born 1696, died abt 1764. Had two wives, Anne Jones, married 1 Nov 1717, married Mary Twyman 1720, after Anne died abt 1718.

There is a strong possibility that James George Bristow had a third wife, Agnes Mitchell. There are two more children from this union, Robert Bristow, 1759 and John Mitchell Bristow, 1763. The mother is Agnes Mitchell 1710-1764. Marriage date 17 Feb. 1758 in Christ Church, Va. I won't formally change the profile until I can Confirm the marriage to Agnes.
