Pat, Thomas's older brother was born in Iowa and was married to a women born in Clark County, Missouri in 1875. So, I am only guessing that Thomas was in Missouri by then also. I don't have facts at this point. I do know that Thomas was in the West Plains City, Howell County, Missouri Census of 1900 http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/mo/howell/census/1900/55-16b.gif Thomas Bridges born in Iowa Amanda A born in Missouri parents in Tenn Poncie F Hazel I do know Thomas was in Idaho in 1905 or so. I don't know if he stayed in Idaho or returned to Missouri. My line went back to West Plains area I think he died prior to 1931 because he is not mentioned in the death notice of his brother John, but he might still have been in Idaho and not mentioned Sorry I don't have much info. I don't know Amanda's last name. I got her first name from the census records. The family member that gave me other info did not include Thomas's family in their info. Hope this little bit helps. kim ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 09, 2000 8:08 AM Subject: Re: [BRIDGES-L] NC, Indiana, Iowa, MO, Minn.
