Lydia Bathrick was born 11 March 1752 in Westborough, Massachusetts Bay, the daughter of David and Lydia (Maynard) Bathrick[2-3].  

Lydia married, at age 27, Phinehas Brigham (1755-1802), son of Moses and Mehitable (Grout) Brigham on 29 April 1779 in Westborough[1,4-5].  They had seven children, all recorded in the Westborough town records:

*  Eli Brigham (1780-????), married 1804 to Dulcena Warren (1784-1830).
*  Phineas Brigham (1782-1823), married 1805 to Lydia Wilkins (1785-1861).

*  Stephen Brigham (1792-1817).
*  Lambert Brigham (1794-1834), married 1817 Sophia Buck (1797-1882).

Lydia (Batherick) Brigham may have died at age 43 on 28 December 1795 in Westborough, leaving five children ages 1 to 15. There is no known death record or burial location or gravestone.  

She certainly died before 20 August 1796, when Phinehas Brigham married Hannah Jackson in Upton, Massachusetts.

NOTE: In 2014, Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her blog post 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog. I have extended this theme in 2021 for an eighth year to 416 Ancestors in 416 Weeks. The (incomplete) list of 52 Ancestors biographies from my great-grandparents to the 7th great-grandparents (in work) is in https://www.geneamusings.com/p/ancestor-biographies.html.
