Bridges, born after 1780, a brother to Wiley Jones Bridges, both sons of Nathaniel Bridges of North Carolina? Darrell D. Bridges is the only son fathered by Nathaniel I cannot account for. If I understand recent DNA results, which is not a given, descendants of the Bridges folks in Henry, Coweta, and Carroll Counties, Georgia seem to be perfect matches with Nathaniel's known descendant. Perhaps they are Darrell's descendants. Just a shot in the dark. Bob Johnston
