Anne, I think Calvin J.'s father is Isaac Bridges (is that right, Wes?). Isaac is the one who hung around the Moses Bridges in Oglethorpe & Madison. I'm just noticing that a lot of those Bridges girls who married early in Oglethorpe and who didn't fit in with the James/Nathaniel/Thomas/David gang, seem to "belong" to Isaac (their husbands all live on the same census page as Isaac & Moses). Could Isaac and all those girls be children of an "unknown" Bridges guy? Who could it be?? Does Allen Jones Bridges (b.1756) have any kids that are unaccounted for?
