One of the hopes I had with my researching the families of the spouses was that I would run across a large number of people from Devon in England. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case. They seem to be from all over England but never from Devon. Such is the case with Lydia Bragdon who married Phillip’s son Philip (note the different spelling). Virtually all this info is new to the tree as previously no research was done on those with other surnames. So without further delay, here is the pedigree of Lydia Bragdon:
