Dear list Does anyone know or have a list of the Bridges men that were in the Rev. War? I have the pension papers for George Benjamin Bridges and for my Allen Jones Bridges and I know there was a couple in the 7th and l5th divisions (I guess they are called). One by the name of William Bridges that I sure would like to find out more about. If Allen, James, Nathanial and (others?) all followed their father into battle, how come we haven't found out who "Daddy" was? Anyone have any ideas? Wanda

Wanda, a long time ago, I posted a list of Bridges men who'd received a pension for Rev. War service along with an abstract of their file. At the time I lived near a library that had the microfilm rolls of Rev. War pensions. However, it was just those that had pensions. I don't have a list of all the soldiers. I've often wondered the same thing myself. That list is still in the BRIDGES-L archives at Rootsweb, if anyone is interested. I wish I knew what kind of Rev. service Nathaniel gave and where he served. All we know is that he is listed in the land lotteries of GA right? And his widow received land as the widow of a Rev. soldier...
