Looking for any information of the following Bridges family. This is from a manuscript from my family: My earliest record of the BRIGDGES is that of my Grand-mother (Which is my great grandmother) Iske's father, Israel Perry Bridges, living in Mumfordwille, Ky. Here in Kentucky he met and married his childhood sweetheart, Mary Martha Linder. He was born in abt. 1827. Married Martha Linder, age 14. The record shows that he organized a "Wagon Train" and joined with the Mormons and left Kentucky to go to Iowa. They stopped over in Springfield, Illinois and it was during this stop over that my Grandmother, Nancy Ann Bridges was born on the 24th of November, 1846. Others on this Wagon train were Israel Linder and Phoebe Burkhart Linder (Mary Martha's parents) Elizabeth Bridges Linder and husband Rufus Linder (Mary Martha's brother) And other Linder and Bridges families. They settled near Newton, Jasper County, Iowa. Because of a sudden death of Israel Perry Bridges the Bridges Cemetery came about. It is located NW of Newton. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My interest would be in finding out about the Bridges of Kentucky and where they came from, who his parents might be and anyother information on the Bridges of that area.
