BRIDGES/ESKEW/ROLLS - Seeking ancestors,siblings, and descendants for Joel C. BRIDGES and Alexander BRIDGES, who are in Wilson Co, TN at least 1830-1860. I am looking for my 2 gr grandfather Joel C. BRIDGES, who m. Lucy ESKEW in 1830 Wilson Co TN. I am descended from their son, Benjamin Green BRIDGES who was born in Lebanon, Wilson Co, TN and m. Nancy Elizabeth LYNDE in Johnson Co, MO. Am searching for the parents of Joel C. who was born about 1805-08 in VA --not sure where, but currently suspecting near Leesburg, Loudoun Co, VA. Also am searching for Alexander BRIDGES who m. Elizabeth ROLLS in Wilson Co. This Alexander BRIDGES was in the War of 1812, and I have a copy of his papers. He was from the Leesburg, VA area, and later removed to Wilson Co, TN.....Don't know how Joel BRIDGES and Alexander BRIDGES are related, but do believe they are. Joel C. and Lucy ESKEW BRIDGES removed to near Warrensburg, MO in the late 1850's..
