Hello All, I've known all my life that my Ggrandfather BRIDGES (1866-1949) was born and died in Robertson County, TN. Today, on a lark, I decided to find out what the 1880 census had to say about him. It took me a while to find him because he was not even in TN at that time. But, thanks to www.FamilySearch.org, I did find his 1880 information. I knew that both of his parents were already deceased, but I had just not thought about where he was living. Well, he was in Logan County, KY with his mother's brother, his maternal grandmother and several other people. So, just for reference, here are the people who were living there together. (I have marked my Ggrandfather and my GGGgrandmother with asterisks.) T. E. FORT - Head of Household - age 35 - born MO (white) - widower Frank FORT - Son - age 8 - born KY (white) Earl FORT - Son - age 6 - born KY (white) Mable FORT - Daughter - age 4 - born KY (white) *M. M. FORT - Mother & Housekeeper - age 63 - born TN (white) - widow *Thos. BRIDGES - Nephew - age 14 - born TN (white) Bettie LINK - Cook - age 24 - born KY (black) Ella LINK - age 3 - born KY (black) Courtney LINK - age 7 - born KY (black) Richard FORT - servant - age 18 - born KY (Black) My Ggrandfather's name was actually John Thomas BRIDGES, and my GGGgrandmother was Martha Marie (FORT) FORT. Yes, she married a cousin! That's probably why I am slightly nuts. <LOL> Leslie (Bridges) Kohler - Aug67@att.net P.O. Box 276, Carrollton, MO 64633-0276 and P.O.
