Wanda, Please I would love a copy of the document. Do you have a scanner? It probably would be cheaper to scan and send the documents. In case you don't have I will gladly pay postage. Send me your address and I will send you a check for the postage and copying. I believe this is my William that I have searched 10 years for: Thank you.

Wanda, this is my line. I would like copies of these old papers and will reimburse your postage and copying expense. (I'm not sure if I already have them in my files or not - but would like to see them anyway.) If you prefer to scan them into .jpeg or .tif files and e-mail them to me, that would be fine too. I am also interested in knowing where you found the papers, etc. For anyone who might also be interested in this line, the children of William Bridges missed one name - that of Morris Bridges. Rev.

There is a Tyre Bridges(only one e) listed twice on the Perry Co Illinois 1850 Federal population schedule.I.D. # ils7a616393 and I.D.# ils7a616394.7th district page 400. I remembered seeing someone looking for this name thought it might help.

Dear Sharon, Thank you so much for your help! You are the first person I have talked to that has seen the name "Tyree BRIDGES"!! I would be very interested in what county in Illinois if you run across it. Our Joseph BRIDGES was born 1813 in TN, probably the son of Joseph BRIDGES (b.1775) and Elizabeth Gill. Just can't find enough info on this line to see if they connect! Thank you again! Rooster

SURNAMES ARE: BRIDGES, WATSON, EDWARDS, HUBBARD, BEAR/BARE,MCMULLIN/MULLIN,GILLMAN IN THE U.S. POCKAJ,VATOVEC, IN SLOVENIA I have found another Thomas Bridges in my Bridges line that was born 1865 in TN, and moved to Ky in 1870. I believe he could be my Thomas's son or maybe his sister's child who is 20 ys old who's name is Martha E. Bridges. Does ANYONE have a Thomas Bridges in their line born 1865 in Tn and later in KY?

Did any of these Indiana families have a daughter Lucy? All I have on her is that she was born in Indiana, 08 Mar 1828, she married Matthew Buchanan (don't know when or where) She died in Scotland Co., Missouri, 28 Oct 1858.

I have a Joseph Bridges born about 1811 in Tenn, but not sure what county. I have also notice a Tyree Bridges in Illinois about 1850, 1860 cenus. My Joseph Bridges I first found in the 1850 census in Washington County, but at the moment I do not remember what county Tyree was from. Hope this might help. I have hit a brick wall with my Joseph Bridges for his parents and siblings.
