Hi Wes and Wanda and Jeanne ~~~ I am still here but in the middle of a possible move which is taking up all of my time. I have talked to Wanda, and she knows a lot more than me about Allen Jones Bridges. I think there's at least two things which our Bridges guys all have in common. (1) They were all in Oglethorpe Co.,GA at one point & time -- or at least the area of Madison Co. that was once Oglethorpe. (2) They all have JONES as a middle name: Allen JONES Bridges Calvin JONES Bridges Wiley JONES Bridges Is this mere coincidence or is there a JONES connection somewhere that we are just missing...... I wonder if any of you Bridges folks might have an idea on why there would be such a common name as a middle name for our guys... Wiley's father was Nathaniel Bridges (d. 1809) We don't know Allen's father (he was born c. 1755 or so) , and Wes, what were Calvin's dates again? And do you know his father? Curiouser and Curiouser...... Anne Wise [email protected] P.S. If you find that DAR file for Allen Jones Bridges I'd like to see it, I haven't seen it yet...sounds fascinating! ----- Original Message ----- From: Wesley Gann <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 02, 2000 9:23 PM Subject: PML Search Result matching (Georgia OR GA) AND (Bridges OR Bridgers) > ===================================================================== > A result of your requested PML search.

Hi All Actually, my mistake. The A J Bridges DAR file is actually a Revolutionary War Pension Application, and I'm having trouble finding it right now. Calvin Jones Bridges b.Apr.6, 1831, Madison Co. d. April 6, 1921 in Clarke Co. Father was Isaac, and they both married a Seagraves (Who am I to wonder?)
