Rooster, I'm not sure where Henry Jason was born other than it was in Tennessee. He is buried at Pleasant Green Campground Cemetery in Bradford, Gibson Co., Tennessee as are several other of the BRIDGES in my line. I have a great-uncle that thinks Henry Jason's grandfather was named John Henry BRIDGES. I have not been able to confirm that though. Does that name show up in any of your research? I searched for you BRIDGES in my line and couldn't find any matches. But I do agree, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a connection somewhere. Roxanne
