NOTE: The old Typed Index lists her as 'Marriad Bridson alias Fargher', but both the will and the Malew Parish burial entry list her as 'Marrian Bridson 
alias Fargher'. However, it is to be noted, that Marian and Marriad were used interchangeably at this time, with Marian not so very uncommon in the first 
decades of the 1600s mostly in the southern part of the Island, and then seeming to fall out of favor.
