Stan, Do you have any information on your Robert A. Bridges b-1837? Help! Judy [email protected]

Do you have a death date for your Joseph? This is really grasping at straws, but, last night I was checking out a website that lists all Soldiers of 1812, and in Greene Co., GA, in Thomas's Reg't, along with my James BRUCE, there was James BRIDGES, John BRIDGES, and Joseph BRIDGES. I know that James and John were brothers of my Hardy BRIDGES, and am guessing the Joseph was, also, or could have been. Your Joseph could be this same one who served in the War of 1812, and if yours lived long enough to draw a pension, (which would be after 1870, and I am not sure of the date), then the pension file could yield some information about the family. James moved to Attala Co., MS and applied for a pension which Ann Wise so generously placed on her webpage. (and I have lost the address of her page) Fingers crossed, and awaiting your reply. Oh, BTW, the site for the War of 1812 Veterans is: http://www.sierrahome.com/familytree/records/ Julia French Wood In a message dated 10/23/2000 8:34:48 AM Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: << FIRST GENERATION 1.

Bridges I) John Bridges, Jr. 1841 - Wm Bridges Harrison Bridges Larkin Bridges John Bridges 1842 - Wm Bridges - 90 acres on Deer Creek Harrison Bridges John Bridges, Jr. 1843 - Wm. Bridges - 90 acres on Deer Creek in Crittenden County Harrison Bridges John Bridges, Jr. - 60 acres on Buck/Back Deer Creek in Liv Cnty John Bridges 1844 - Harrison Bridges John Bridges - 60 acres on Deer Creek 1845 - John Bridges - 61 acres on Deer Creek 1846 - John Bridges - 60 acres on Buck Creek, north of Cumberland River Harrison Bridges Elisha Briggs - on tax list of those south of Cumberland River 1847 - John Bridges, Sr. (i.e., not Harrison's son John) Jackson Bridges - 50 acres on Deer Creek 1848 - Elisha Briggs - Sugar Creek 1849 - North of Cumberland River: John Bridges Harrison Bridges South of Cumberland River: Wm A. Bridges - 100 acres on Deer Creek 1850 - Elisha Briggs - Sugar Creek Robt Briggs - Sugar Creek Harrison Bridges - 1 wm, 4 children 5-15 John Bridges - 1 wm, 2 children 5-15; 1 horse (John H.) David Bridges - 350 acres on Brook C. Note: this John Bridges cannot be Harrison's son, as that John, age 23, is unmarried and at home in the 1850 census. He fits the census description of John H. Also, I don't think this David can be Harrison's son, David, as David is 10 in the 1850 census. So, who is it? 1851 - North of Cumberland River: John Bridges - 1 wm over 16, 2 cattle, 1 horse, 1 child 5-15 South of Cumberland River: Elisha Briggs - 132 acres on Sugar Creek Wm. A. Bridges 1852 - John Bridges - 1 wm over 16 Wm A. Bridges - 6 mules, 5 children Elisha Briggs - 139 acres on Sugar Creek 1853 - none listed 1854 - John Bridges John H. Bridges Note: (I wondered if one of these could be Wm's John, and one be John's son John, but Wm's family seems to have moved. I'm concluding, then, that these are father/son) 1855 - John Bridges John Bridges 1856 - Joseph Bridges ----- (descends from John Bridges, Rev Soldier-Va John Bridges came from Boone/Kenton Counties in 1856; Jack Bridges info from Livingston County History) 1857 - Joseph Bridges John Bridges, Sr. (John H.

For all you Bridges folks that were kind enough to be patient with me, and for those who where not so kind, you'll be glad to hear I found my thomas Warren Bridges! Thomas was born 1842 in TN, and his fathers name was GEORGE BRIDGES FROM IRELAND. Dear Thomas died in 1914 in Pascol0 MO. Now maybe I can connect with some of my Bridges family out there!

Dawnene, All I have on him is KY from the census records. I haven't found out where he was born yet. Sorry. I keep hoping that some night while I sleep the genealogy fairy will come and enter the information on my computer. :) Donna Patterson [email protected] <A HREF="http://patterson.family.homepage.com"> http://patterson.family.homepage.com</A>
