Notes:
RUTH GREENSLADE
Verification of her parentage comes from the will of Jacob Pudeator, her mothers second husband. The will was contested and the case was dropped. Therefore, by order of the court 5 pounds as called for in the will was to be paid to Ruth Greenslate alias Bridges. The will spelled her and her 3 brothers surname as Greenslit, and the court order spelled it Greenslate, which no doubt contributed to the confusing spellings found in the various on-line genealogies.

Notes:
This from Linda Martino best describes the evidence for Abigail and her siblings being children of Joseph Wise and Hepzibah Bridges. Further genealogy back to the immigrant Edmund Bridges is confirmed through NEHGS records and Great Migrations Entries.
" Although I do not have proof such as a will I believe there is strong evidence that Joseph Jr Wise of Lebanon is the child of Joseph and Hepzibah Bridges.
Joseph Wise & Hepzibah Bridges are married & named as the parents of: Lucy, Hepzibah, Elizabeth, 2 Josephs, John, and Abigail in Gloucester MA records.
We then see Hepzibah, Lucy, and Elizabeth Wise joining the Goshen Congregational Church in 1741. Following that are marriage records for Hepzibah, Elizabeth, Joseph, John, and Abigail in 1749-1756 in Lebanon and the birth of many of their children. A brother of Hepzibah Bridges Wise (Edmund Bridges) is also in Lebanon during this period.
There is a Samuel Wise in Lebanon but I did not find a baptism record for him in Gloucester.
Again although there is not a will the names and dates are completely consistent between the two locations."
