Hello list, It is nice to know I have so many new cousins. I found some of my "closer" cousins show that my William Crawford Bridges was born in Atlanta, Ga in 1815 instead of Wilkes Co. Ga. (this is what I have.) Perhaps one of you could check Atlanta and see if you can find anything that bears the slightest reference to Allen Jones Bridges around 1800. I certainly would appreciate it. I do know they left Ga in 1819 and went to Wilson Co. Tenn. Also according to Allen Jones Bridges Rev. War Pension records, he was living in Roan Co. NC and went into the service with his father at that time. Do we know if James (the spy) also enlisted in Roan Co ? Any ideas? Wanda

Wanda Welcome to the bunch. I have already met two of our DNA cousins. Doug & Doris Bridges of Homestead, FL and Jeannie Bridges Lewis. I met her in Tx while she was traveling on her job. She actually lives in CA. I also talked with her father on the phone - Willie Hugh Bridges. I have talked to Anne Bennett by e-mail several times and have talked with Roger Dean Bridges in IL. Phil Bridges has been a little more reluctant to warm up. I have spoken to him twice by e-mail and hope that we will be able to exchange information. I will gladly exchange info with you too. My line is the James M. Bridges born either in SC or Georgia. One of his sons Julius Caesar Alford Bridges was my gGrandfather. There were about 12 children in the family but not much is known of most of them. I have been unable to determine the parentage of my James. There is a gap in the tree after his birth. Most of the activity known about James occurred in Henry County and Carroll County, GA. Looking forward to hearing from you.
