Hi, We have Bridges in our Family, they are from Dekalb & Daviess Co. Missouri, and the main one is Thomas Jefferson Bridges, He married Luncida Drummond, and after some of their children were born he went west, and wasn't heard from, so was the last we have on him, but he was suppose to have been born in Tenn, but nothing more on him.

Just read your post on Caudel's.....when I was younger (1940's +) there was a Caudel family in a small town of Golden Gate, Ill. Wayne county. I left home in 1947 and joined the Navy. I lost contact with them after that. The children I knew were: O.B. Caudel, Joe and Audrey Caudel. Paul [email protected]

Paul, Thanks for answering. What can you tell me about these folks?? Do you know who their parents were or anything else you can share?? They are no doubt part of the line I am researching...I started back several generations and am working my way to the present day.

Any one wishing to track their Bridges ancestors Civil War regiment etc., the "Official Records" are on line along with a half -way decent search ,( Do this by the units' officer who would be filing the report, not your Bridges Private so and so.) These reports give first hand accounts, ranging from Lee-Grant etc., down to individual battalion, unit, battery, etc. commanders. I'm sitting here now with about 50 pages from my GGGrandfathers' Artillery Battalion, down to his battery, from beginning to end of war. This is only 50 pages because I did not print the 10+ page reports of General McClaws, where his battery was mentioned on numerous occasions. One more thing , Search results give Chapter, not Volume #. This means When you see XXXI, go to the campaign/battle listed at top of each search query, not Series XXXI. Chapter # on that specific campaign should match. Then, just type in page #. Happy Hunting, Wesley http://www.ehistory.com/uscw/library/or/index.cfm

I found a Thomas Bridges in the 1850 Census of Wilson Co. He was 34 at the time, so would have been born around 1816. I believe that this is my ggg-grandfather, but have been unable to prove it as of yet. Same Thomas??!! ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 15, 2000 9:44 PM Subject: [BRIDGES-L] Bridges AL>TN>MO > Still looking for the family of Thomas Warren Bridges born early 1800's in TN, moved to MO,(1860-1870) and said his parents are from AL.

I am looking for a short history of the Bridges surname that I can add to my webpage with the author's permission (I will give the author credit on my site). It would be the Bridges/Bridgers surname and I hear we have some Scots-Irish ties though I have yet to get that far back. Please feel free to contact me.

I ran across this on the web, but don't know where...maybe someone here knows who to attribute it to: Briggs: A North English and Scottish variant of Bridge, derived from the Old Norse bryggja. Bridge is an English Place name for the man who lived near a bridge, or an English Occupational name for the keeper of the bridge. Building and maintaining bridges was one of three main feudal occupations, the cost of which was occasionally offset by a toll charged to cross, and the keeper of the toll often acquired the surname. Variations are Bridges, Brigg, Briggs, Burge, Bridger, Bridgeman, Brigman. German cognitives include: Bruckmann, Bruckman, Bruck, Bruckner, Bruckner, Pruckner (Austria), Brugge, Brugger, Anderbrugge, Toderbrugge, Terbruggen (at the bridge). Van Bruggen is Flemish, and Van der Brug is Dutch. Other versions exist in additional countries.
