Hey Billie, I suspect we might be cousins in more ways than one. My great-grandparents were James Andrew Rust and Martha L. Bridges. They were born in Carroll County, Tennessee. I'm at work right now and don't have my genealogy bags with me so I can't give you the dates off the top of my head. I bet they are related some which of way. I mean Bridges and Rust together. Let me know where your Bridges and Rust were from and tomorrow I will get my bags out and try get the dates and places to you. My Martha's parents were W. A. C. Bridges and Louisa Eveline Cunningham. They too were from Carroll County, Tennessee. The county seat for Carroll County is Huntingdon, TN. Many of the Bridges and Rust family lines are from around that area. My W. A. C. Bridges brother was Jason (Jacint) A. Bridges and he headed out to Texas. Maybe they went together, that is with your Bridges. Well I'm wandering without my papers in front of me. I'll get them together tomorrow. Hope to hear from you soon. I have a RUST, CHURCHWELL, VICKERS, SHACKLEFORD, CUNNINGHAM site on MyFamily.com. Maybe you would like to join us. Let me know.
