I am looking for the parents of Hamilton Bridges from Allegheny county Pa. He was married to Sarah Morrow. He was probably born around 1820. He came to Ohio around 1865. He had a son Hamilton who ended up in Muskingum and Coshocton county in Ohio. The son married Eleanor Caroline Rogers. The son was born in 1862 and died in 1910 in Coshocton, Ohio. I want to thank people for all the help. Susie

I don't know, but I'll sure check it out. Thanks.

Does anyone have a Thomas Warren Bridges from MO, and mother was Flora Congine, and father was Jos. Bridges Interesting enough, I have a death certificate for a Thomas Warren Bridges from MO, his son was Jos. BridgesJr. from Essex (I guess Essex is in MO, I am not sure) This Thomas Warren has NO birth date on the death certifcate, and date of death is Aug 3, 1918,was his death date, and he died in France by a hand grenade! Although I am not wanting to part with the death cert, as I am not sure yet if he is in my family or not, I am willing to scan it for any interested party. [email protected] Patty

Hi Patty: It's me again. Did you mean the Thomas that I mention in Caldwell? A Thomas Bridges appears in the 1815 tax roll of Caldwell County, and then he doesn't appear again. Could me he was related to this GA/KY bunch, and then headed to MO?

GA and KY Bridges connections: I am trying to make sense of the Caldwell County, KY Bridges line. Why did Berry J. Bridges go there from Oglethorpe, GA (were there relatives there?), and when did he go back? Did he leave some children there? Who were the Benjamin, John, Thomas, and William Bridges that were there with him? Other, or later names include Morrell (Merrill?), David L., David Seburn, Harrison C., Jackson, Nathan, and Tolley, and Phebe. Did some of these go to Livingston County? Was there lots of interaction between the GA and KY Bridges? A Benjamin Bridges, wife Frances Ann, receive Rev. pension there in 1820's. He was from NC -- whose son was he? Was he brother to Berry J.? Harrison C Bridges, and John C. Bridges, both born in Caldwell in the 1830's, move to and marry in Marshall county, KY. Whose children are they? Are they related to William Clayton Bridges, born in the 1830's, who moved to TN? Liv County names: John H. Bridges (born in 1812), John R. Bridges (son of John H, born in 1835); Harrison Bridges (moved to Pope County, Il in 1855), Larkin Bridges, and Wm. Bridges. Are John H., Harrison, Larkin, and Wm children of John Bridges who married Mary Miller in 1810, and then probably moved to Yazoo Cnty, MS? Did they move back to their father's land on Deer Creek? Here are names of children of the Livingston County, Bridges -- most of whom lived on Deer Creek: John Bridges - (married Lucy) son John R. Bridges; daughter Martha Harrison Bridges - (married Lucinda Glass); children John, Margaret, Jane, David Barnhill, Francis Marion Wm Bridges - (married Eliza O'Neal Ramage) children Carlisle, John, Wm, Elizabeth Larkin Bridges - (married Sally Brown) children?? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Dawnene

I have seen some Germans listed as "dark". Blacks would be listed as slaves or free Negroes. Before 1850, there was a special place on the census to mark these, but that was before the names other than the head of household, were listed. In 1850, and thereafter, I believe the blacks were listed as "B" and were listed along with the household in which they were living. Usually they were living in their own home, but perhaps, on the property of the white owner. I could be wrong in some of this, it is just my observation. Julia

Has anyone searching for Bridges name had to look for them in Indentured Servants yet? I am wondering if the names of the indentured servants are listed on the census, or is there a special micro film roll to look for? Another question is, where slaves all listed in "Slave Schedules" or would some be on regular census film? I cant help but wonder if maybe indentured servants and slaves may have been listed together? Any input from anyone who has searched for this situation would be appreciated. Although my Bridges family seem to be white now, words like "dark" on death cert. and indentured servant (in conversations) are comming up. [email protected]

Was someone looking for Joel Dyer Bridges? Here is a possibility. These are from Sumner County, TN. Dawnene Forwarded message: Good morning! I checked the Will Abstract book by Shirley Wilson There are 2 John Brigance. Here are the abstracts for both Brigance, John dated 28 May 1798 Wife Katherine, Sons Charles Brigance Ex: Son James Brigance Brigance, John dated 21 Feb 1816 Lief estate to wife Patsy Brigance, children Mehala Brigance Stuart Blantain Brigance, Joel Dyer Brigance, John Stuart Brigance, William Henry Brigance, Alexander Brigance For the full will and any estate records you can write to the Sumner Co.

I'm trying to figure out a Bridges puzzle, concerning this line of Bridges: James S. Bridges, born 1893 in Providence, KY; (married Rosetta Johnson) William H. Bridges, born 1861 in Livingston County, KY; (married Virginia Bruce) John R. Bridges, born 1835 in Livingston County, KY; (married Mary J. Hood) John H. Bridges, born 1812 in KY; (married Lucretia ----------------) probably John Bridges, who married Mary Miller in 1810 in Livingston County, KY This is where the line is in question. On the Livingston County tax rolls, John Bridges claims land in 1812, citing 200 acres in Christian County, patented under the name of Walter Bridges. Walter received a land grant for 200 acres on the East Fork of the Pond River in 1799. Before that, he is on the tax rolls for 1786 (?), and one other year, in Logan County, KY. Walter died in 1806 in Christian County. His widow, Mary Scott Bridges, died in 1809/1810, and her estate was handled by relatives John Scott, and Benjamin Hardin. They leave at least 3 sons: John, William, and Alney/Abney. (Christian County Court records - John Hardin is given guardianship of Alney Bridges, orphan of Walter Bridges). Now -- are my John Bridges of Livingston County the descendants of Walter? I have always thought so, from the tax records. They remain on the tax records from 1806-1860. As for the census records: they are there in 1810 and 1820, 1840 and 1850. Supposedly, they are not there in 1830. However, I have not checked the entire Livingston rolls to be sure. They are also not listed in 1840, but I found this to be an error -- they were listed as living in Smithland in Lincoln county, but I pulled the rolls for Smithland in Livingston County, and there they were. BUT - many of the Scott and Hardin families moved to Arkansas. There is a John Bridges and Cynthia Spivey Bridges buried there along with the Scotts and Hardins. This has been assumed to be Walter's son. If so, who is my John who seems to be remaining in Livingston County, who claimed Walter's land? And what eventually happened to Walter's land? What happened to William? Alney/Abney ends up in Mississippi with a John Hardin; Alney died there in the 1850's. The Scotts and Hardins came to Livingston County via Rowan and Rutherford Counties in NC. There are Benjamin and Moses Bridges names close to their land there. However, I've never heard of a Walter there, and there are no marriage/family records which include him. To further compicate things: 2 of the children of Charles Miller, son of Ebenezer Miller, marry Bridges in Livingston County. Charles Miller's wife is Jane Calhoun of Abbeville, SC. The Thomas/Bridges family history also includes Calhouns. Does anyone have any ideas about Walter Bridges, or my Johns? Thanks much. Dawnene Bridges Young

I am also looking for the Bridges in Wilson Co Tn that came from NC. My Bridges was William B. Bridges b 1790 NC moved to Wilson Co and married on his 18th birthday (no records found yet, just written up in Goodspeed history of Randolph Co Ark) to Rebecca Sherrill of Wilson Co. By 1835 they were in Henderson Co Tn according to probate records of Uriah Sherrill, Rebecca's father. In 1850 they were on the Ripley Co Mo census, 1860, 1870 Randolph Co Arkansas Census. Father is supposed to be Benjamin Bridges. Any information helpful, I have hit the brick wall. Wilma

Sorry to bother the list with this. I am looking for the person with whom I have corresponded about my GGgrandmother's (Mary Amelia FORT BRIDGES') 2nd husband, James BELL. I have come upon some new information that I wish to share. Leslie (Bridges) Kohler [email protected] (primary - checked daily) [email protected] (back up - checked weekly)

Karen: About your Joel Bridges and wife Lucy Eskew who were married in Wilson County, TN, in 1830.....does Joel have siblings or cousins. I'm seeking the family of my ggggrandfather, Allen Harvey Bridges, born 1803 in North Carolina, married Sarah Hancock in 1827 in Wilson County. He was in 1830 and 1840 Wilson County census records then moved to Henry County, TN before 1850. Any connection? -Carol Wilke [email protected]
