Seeking info. on my gg grandfather, James BRIDGES. I have very few facts to go on and am hopeful the following may ring a bell with someone: We know James Bridges was in the Laney District of Davis Co. (now known as Cass Co.) TX on 31 Dec 1867, because that is when he and his wife (name sadly unknown) had a baby girl, my great grandmother, Willie Melvinia BRIDGES. They already had one child, a boy named John BRIDGES, who was 1-2 years old at this time. A few days after the baby's birth Jame's wife died of complications of childbirth. James BRIDGES remarried rather quickly, a young lady named Fannie (Frances) Spikes (daughter of Martha Spikes.) The 1870 census shows them in the Cusseta section of Davis (now Cass) Co. TX, with a new baby, Benj. M. BRIDGES. This census shows James BRIDGES to be 35 in 1870 and lists his birthplace as GA. The little boy, John's, birthplace is shown to be AL. The baby girl grew up in Cass Co., and married Robert Johnson Dudley, they raised a very large (17 children!) family in Cass Co., they are buried in the Cornett Cemetery in Cass Co. Any clues or help would be appreciated so much.
