Benjamin TRIGG Headache (General)

Thank you both, Jim and Slowhands. I have spent a few hours toing and froing after your replies. They were a great help.
My reasoning is this:
The Benjamin Trigg who married Mary Marfell was still alive in 1841 (the date of the will).
One of the witnesses to the marriage of Benjamin and Mary was Sarah Trigg.
There is no Sarah Trigg in my Benjamin's family - but Benjamin (son of Richard & Elizabeth) had a sister, Sarah.
(Grief! I was getting confused there for a bit!)
I am going to use this as my basis that my Benjamin Trigg was the son of Benjamin and Priscilla.
It's the only logical answer, although as you say, no definitive proof.

Thank you both for your help
All the best
