Looking for 2 lost children who has Bridges for a father, and McMullin/Mullin for a mother in late 1870's. Children M.E. (daughter) D.W. (son) just disappear along with the mother after 1880 census in MO, pemiscott county. Mother didnt die till 1893, and I wonder what became of these kids! [email protected] -----

I am researching Allen Harvey Bridges, born in 1803 in North Carolina, married Sarah Hancock in Wilson County, TN. Moved eventually to Henry County,TN...some family still there. Thanks.

Hello fellow searchers Allen Jones Bridges census records show l0 children and as my memory recalls, I think this was in Oglethorpe Co. But by the time he got to Greene Co. Ill, I only know of the two or possible three. For sure, Flemmon b. l8ll Ga, William Croford b. l8l5 Ga then Willis b. ? (later). They were all in Smith and Wilson Co. Tenn at the same time too. Someone said we should be searching the JONES and or ALLEN lines in NC. I didn't get very far with that. I do have in another line, one James Jones in Jamestown, Vir back in the l600's and I have tried in vain to tie him in with Allen Jones Bridges. Keep me up to date, please. I did not know about Calvin Jones Bridges, Wes. Now I can add him to growing files. Thanks Wanda

Hi All Actually, my mistake. The A J Bridges DAR file is actually a Revolutionary War Pension Application, and I'm having trouble finding it right now. Calvin Jones Bridges b.Apr.6, 1831, Madison Co. d. April 6, 1921 in Clarke Co. Father was Isaac, and they both married a Seagraves (Who am I to wonder?)

Jeanne, can't say for sure about Temperance, but I have been curious as to a connection with Moses Bridges, living next door in Madison Co., 1850. Interesting that in 1860 Madison Co., Moses' ex?wife and kids are listed as free mulatto? (of course you probably posted all this stuff ) Anyway, more to ponder. Like Anne says, theres to many "Jones" out there to be a coincidence.

Anne, I think Calvin J.'s father is Isaac Bridges (is that right, Wes?). Isaac is the one who hung around the Moses Bridges in Oglethorpe & Madison. I'm just noticing that a lot of those Bridges girls who married early in Oglethorpe and who didn't fit in with the James/Nathaniel/Thomas/David gang, seem to "belong" to Isaac (their husbands all live on the same census page as Isaac & Moses). Could Isaac and all those girls be children of an "unknown" Bridges guy? Who could it be?? Does Allen Jones Bridges (b.1756) have any kids that are unaccounted for?

There is a DAR file for A.Jones Bridges. He served with his father. I have long suspected a link with him and my GGGrandfather Calvin Jones Bridges From Madison, Clarke Counties, GA. Where are you Anne and Jeanne, know anything 'bout this? I beleive this file is posted on the GA Genweb.

Hi Wes and Wanda and Jeanne ~~~ I am still here but in the middle of a possible move which is taking up all of my time. I have talked to Wanda, and she knows a lot more than me about Allen Jones Bridges. I think there's at least two things which our Bridges guys all have in common. (1) They were all in Oglethorpe Co.,GA at one point & time -- or at least the area of Madison Co. that was once Oglethorpe. (2) They all have JONES as a middle name: Allen JONES Bridges Calvin JONES Bridges Wiley JONES Bridges Is this mere coincidence or is there a JONES connection somewhere that we are just missing...... I wonder if any of you Bridges folks might have an idea on why there would be such a common name as a middle name for our guys... Wiley's father was Nathaniel Bridges (d. 1809) We don't know Allen's father (he was born c. 1755 or so) , and Wes, what were Calvin's dates again? And do you know his father? Curiouser and Curiouser...... Anne Wise [email protected] P.S.

Hi Wes, Betty, Wanda et al, I'm here, and as a matter of fact I am this very moment working on a little census study of Isaac Bridges and his buddies. (Probably repeating work that's already been done, but I'm just trying to understand the relationships.) I didn't know Calvin's middle name was Jones... very interesting! Sorry I don't have anything to add to this discussion, but to change the subject... I just noticed that Benjamin BUSBIN (who married Temperance BRIDGES in Oglethorpe in 1816) was living right by Isaac BRIDGES, and Bridges B. THOMPSON. Is Temperance a sister of Isaac??

Has anyone found a tie between frances bridges who married sarah caudle and A. Jones Bridges? The Caudles moved from N. C....chatham county and maybe other counties in N.C. thru Tennessee with some offspring born there in Maury, Weakley, and other counties and then on to Wayne Co, Macoupin , and Greene Counties in Illinois... Several families moved together and children married within those families as well as other families...

Arlene, try looking in McMinn Meigs and Monroe Co. , Tn. Also try Fannin co., Ga. I think I have seen Thomas Jefferson Bridges there. You can reach this through either rootsweb or USGen. [email protected]

Hope someone can help me. Searching for info on my ggrandfather. According to my grandmother Maud Louise Bridges birth record he was 24 yrs old when she was born 7/8/1882 in Willington CT. Her birth record and that of her brother George shows him born in Saco, Maine and his name was Fred A/Frederick A. But her death certificate says Hiram. He was married to Ella L. Wilson and they divorsed in 1884 in Tolland county, CT. Thanks for your help. Barbara

I suspect he is somehow tied into the bridges that i am looking at...but can not place him yet..did you check the DAR Patriot Index to see if anyone filed papers to join the DAR on him?...if they did, there may be an abundance of information in those papers...which you can order from the DAR or....if i get to go to the DAR library in Wash DC soon, i will look... betty At 09:04 AM 10/2/2000 -0400, you wrote: >Since everyone is being so helpful, perhaps there is someone sho can tell me >more >about the lst family of Allen Jones Bridges, Rev War, born l756 in Wake Co. >NC. >I know about his wife Elizabeth Irwin who he married in Green Co.

Since everyone is being so helpful, perhaps there is someone sho can tell me more about the lst family of Allen Jones Bridges, Rev War, born l756 in Wake Co. NC. I know about his wife Elizabeth Irwin who he married in Green Co. Ill in l836 but I'd like to know his lst wife's name and names of his children. I would certainly appreciate any information at all and thank everyone in advance who can help in any way possible. Wanda Thompson

Your Joseph is probably related somehow to the line I mentioned in earlier e-mail on this Bridges party line...Your joseph b. 1805 could be a cousin or brother to the children of Sarah Caudle and Frances Bridges.one of their children was born in 1808 ..my lines were in Wayne Co. Illinois..in fact my Caudle line must have married into about every family that was in Wayne Co., Illinois in 1850 ...at least it seems like it to me... I will keep you in mind as i continue working on the caudle and bridges lines...I think our research will cross somewhere...betty At 07:47 PM 10/1/2000 -0500, you wrote: >I have read all of the queries since April 1999, but I have not seen my >line of BRIDGES posted.
