Hi, My Jonathan Bridges didn't have a son named William, but there was a William Bridges in that area (b. 1766, NC or SC), who I think might have been related to Jonathan in some way - brother or cousin?. This William went to Martin Co., IN (possibly in Lawrence Co., IN by 1824) before Jonathan took his family north in 1829. William was in the 1830 Martin Co., IN census. Jonathan was in the 1830 Lawrence Co., IN Census. By 1840, William and Jonathan were in Martin Co., IN. In 1850, Jonathan Bridges lived in Baker Twp., Martin Co., IN, and William Bridges lived in Micheltree Twp. with his youngest son, Allen - William then listed as born in NC. William did have a son, William Bridges, Jr., b. 1797 in Green Co., KY, which was just north of Barren Co., KY (Green Co. was formed from part of Barren Co. and Nelson Co., KY). I have that he died in 1892, in KY. I don't have any information on whether he married. There should be some on the list tied to this William Bridges line. My Jonathan Bridges had these children that we know of for sure: 1. Charlotta/or Lottie Bridges (b. in SC, 1803/4), m. James Hurt in KY (went to IN) 2. Mariah Green Bridges (b. 1805, KY), m. Geo. W. McReynolds in IN. 3. Isaac Titsworth Bridges (b. 1815, KY), m. Matilda J. Wade in KY. 4. John J. Jackson Bridges (b. 1815, KY), m. Rebecca Reynolds in IN. 5. Elizabeth Bridges (b. 1819, KY), m. Geo. W. Kinder in IN. 6. Martha/or Patsy Bridges, b. 1823, KY), m. Elias Rollins in IN. 7. Edmond Green Bridges, b. 1830, IN), m. 3 times - wife of his 12 children was Alsadia/or Elsada Pulse, m. in IN. William Bridges children: 1. James B. Bridges (b. 1792/3, NC or SC) 2. Nancy Bridges (b. 1795, SC), m. Ralph/or Raphael Hudson 3. William Bridges, Jr. (b. 1797, KY) 4. Eliza Bridges, (b. 1797-1799, KY), m. Alexander Scott in KY. 5. Jane Bridges, (b. 1801/2, KY), m. John Underwood in KY. 6. Absolom Bridges, (b. 1805, KY), died at the Alamo 7. Sarah/Sally Bridges, (b. 1806, KY), m. Bruner Hickman, Lawrence Co., IN. 8. Margaret Bridges, (b. 1807-1814, KY), m. William Norman in Martin Co., IN. 9. Thomas George Bridge, (b. 1809, KY), m. Nancy Hester abt 1835, IN. 10. Joel Bridges, (b. 1813, KY), m. Lucinda Feit/Faith in IN. 11. Allen Denman Bridges, (b. 1817, KY) m. Eliza Jane Feit/Faith in IN. Anyone with corrections or additions to these lines, please let me know.

Donna, my gg grandfather was William Bridges b. about 1800 KY and married Nancy ?(May be Whitley/Whitney) b. about 1804/07 KY They moved from KY to Montgomery Co. MO and then to Polk Co. MO and then back to Montgomery Co., MO one of their children was John (Jonathan) Davidson Bridges b. 1844 Montgomery Co. MO. Other children are James m. Susannah Patton; Melinda m. William Patten and Hayden/Haden and Marion. Could William be a son of your Jonathan as I think Barren Co. is where he was born. Census records have him with other Barren Co. Bridges families.

where does your Bridgers start? Whats the earlist first name and adte? I find trhat my line goes back to Bridgers then Bridger.

Most of my family is Bridgers, but probably same family. Contact me if you have any information on this family from NC. Joanne

Am new to the list, and am searching for the husband of the above Barbara Millet. All I have to go on is that Barbara is mentioned in her father's will, dated 24 Sep. 1798 in Ontario Co. NY, as Barbara Bridges. I am just beginning to "flesh out" my ggg grandfather's brothers & sisters, so if anyone has any information on a Bridges/Millet marriage, I would appreciate some help. Barbara was born in Voluntown CT 22 Feb 1766, daughter of Jonathan & Jenet (Edmund) Millet. The family may have gone to the Wyoming Valley area of PA before ending up in NY, so the marriage to this unknown Bridges could have occurred in any of these 3 places. Thanks for any help anyone can give me. Alice Allen

Robert, Frustrating isn't it. My great grandfather, Jerome BRIDGES, was a runaway bond slave, sold by his father, would tell nothing of his past, gave birthdate as 18 Oct 1818, Fairfax Co., VA.
