(abt 1687)

Children of Christopher GIFFORD and (1) Deborah PERRY
Meribah, Christopher (1), Audrey Alice, Enos, Mary, Christopher (2),
Deborah*, John

Bridget Baker's line goes through Deborah who married Benjamine Wilbur
(Wilbore) -- and I don't have a spouse for Christopher (2), who survived infancy.

------------------
FamilySearch.org provided some most interesting information -- they have four
children for Christopher and Mary Bordon, including William, b. 1722
-- and --
married to a Patience RUSSELL, b. 1727, dau. of Joseph Russell II & Mary
Tucker

It looks like a piece of genealogical serendipity is at work here, with a
coincidental SECOND person of the same name in your line -- Please note, that
this later Patience RUSSELL is in no way related, as far as I know at this point,
to the original one who married William GIFFORD in 1635 -- and she is very
definitely the first wife of William, with the verifiable marriage date in Lo
ndon in 1635.

Thank you for your post -- good luck, and keep me posted on what you decide.
