Notes for Jane (Spouse 1)
Other Spouses: Abraham TRIGG, SR.

Judith was baptized Mar. 1687/88, and was the widow of Abraham Trigg who she married in January 1710/11 as his second wife in Middlesex Co. Trigg's first wife was Elizabeth Guest/Gest who he married on Dec. 14, 1704, and who died between 1709 and 1710. Their known children were Mary, baptized May 9, 1706, and Elizabeth, baptized 1709. Judith's children by Abraham Trigg were Susannah, Daniel, William and Abraham--the last born in April 1719 some two months after Abraham (Sr.)'s death (on Feb. 25, 1718/19), and the same month is which she gave bond for the administration of Trigg's estate. Abraham Trigg (Sr.) was baptized May 4, 1684 and his father was Daniel Trigg.

When Henry married Judith, he came into control of 150 acres Trigg land along with four children by Judith and Abraham Trigg, and at least two by Abraham Trigg's first wife, Elizabeth Guest/Gest. (Henry Burk had two tithables added in 1720 and these do not appear to have been sons of Trigg and his first wife.) On November 1, 1737, Judith Burk relinquished her right of dower in land formerly owned by her first husband in a deed of Daniel Trigg to Thomas Berry (Order Book 1732-37, p. 89--in Hopkins, p. 270). A Daniel Trigg died in Spotsylvania Co. in 1769 and a William Trigg in Bedford Co., in 1773. That these were Judith's children by Abraham has not been verified. Judith's parents were Robert and Sara Clark.
