Hi Wanda, It's nice to hear you are still researchin' I have not come up with anything new on Nathaniel's line except for descendants. I've been busying myself with that, so that I might have more clues about this particular Bridges family. One new thing I've discovered, is that one of Nathaniel's daughters, Patsy Bennett Bridges (the one that married Murray Embry in Oglethorpe,GA ) moved with her husband to Franklin County, TN by 1820. I have been struggling to come up with more descendants for the couple, apparently they died before that lovely 1850 census! Now, I just have Son One, Son Two, Daughter One, etcc... with age ranges. You know how it goes. Also another researcher helped me discover that there are actually TWO separate wills for Nathaniel (d. 1809 Oglethorpe) The differences are minor, but it's fascinating to look at. Has anyone else ever heard of this? Wish I could figure out what connections the Crawford and Jones families have to our Bridges lines. Obviously there is something there!
