♀Bridget (surname unknown)

Bridget (surname unknown) was the wife of George Kenniston and the mother of Bridget Keniston, the second wife of Jonathan Smith of Exeter, in the Province of New Hampshire^W. She was the seventh great-grandmother of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), through her daughter Bridget Keniston. Her maiden name, her parents and the dates of her birth and death are not known.

She is known from a genealogical dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire families published between 1928 and 1939, which places the couple at Greenland, New Hampshire. George Kenniston died on 14 March 1717-18, according to the dictionary, and letters of administration^W on his estate were granted on 10 November 1718 to his widow, Bridget. She was taxed in 1718 and 1719, and in 1720 she complained that Jonathan Weeks, Tucker Cate, Jeremiah Lary and Abraham Sanborn had stopped her three sons while they were raising a house frame. The dictionary names the couple’s children as John, George, Samuel and Bridget, who married Jonathan Smith on 11 August 1719, and probably Mary, who was over sixteen in 1696.
