The parents given for Anne Bright are correct but she was not the mother of Edward Gurganey, she was his wife.
The only Adria named on the 1621 passenger manifest of the ship Marmaduke was an Adria HOARE and her kinswoman
Anne Woodliefe, NOT an Adria Virginy/Gurgany. Edward and Anne were not married until 1595 and had no children. It is now determined that the 2nd wife of Capt Thomas Harris was Joan, the widow of his next door neighbor William Vincent, but she was over 50 years old when they married and therefore they had no children. This Joane Vincent had once claimed that Thomas Harris had slept with half of the other wives of the 1624 Muster. Her husband refused to let her testify, so the matter was dropped.
It's likely that he did have an affair with Anne Gurganey after her husband died which is why she willed him her land when she died. The 1627 Will of Adria's father Thomas Hoare, gives a bequeath of money to his.granddaughter Mary Harris, daughter of his daughter Adria. This is the Mary Harris who married Col Thomas Ligon.
