Actually, I don't have any specific information on which Jones or Crawford families might or might not be connected. But it is curious that in Wanda's line there is a Bridges with a middle name of Crawford (or Crofford) and two of Nathaniel Bridges children had the middle name of Crawford, while two of his children had the middle name of Jones. Why? I don't know, but isn't it curious? Also I think Jeanne Arguelles mentioned that James Bridges of Oglethorpe had a connection to the family of Rawleigh Crawford..?
