Hello! Moses Bridges, we believe the brother in law of Alexander Davidson, bought land next to Alexander in Nash District Orange Co., area that became Caswell Co., in 1772; they sold in 1777 and moved to Tryon Co., area that became Rutherford Co. NC. Moses was Alexander's bondsman when he remarried in 1783 following the death of his first wife, ---- Bridges. In 1798 Alexander Davidson removed to the area of Warren Co. KY that became Barren Co. Moses Davidson joined him there. We've been told where Moses went on to - have it in the file, will try to find it. Names allied to our group are Ellis, Turner, Murray, Anderson.
