Robert Some of those people should be part of my line but I don't know how. My Bridges lived in Carroll County and Coweta County. My James M. Bridges was born in 1812 and died in Carroll County. There was a James Marion Bridges that ended up in Louisiana. He had some siblings with some of the same names that you list. I guess that the Nathaniel Bridges DNA will tell the tale.
