Gini, Saleta was 30 years younger than her husband Gabriel W. Grimes. She married at age 20, so I would think that her parents would be in the same county as herself (Oglethorpe) but with the name Saleta in James M. Bridges family there's got to be a connection. I'll have to get to the library and check the Thomas b.1816 and James M. Bridges lines {James married someone named Ann, Is this the James M.Bridges of Terrell county?} Saleta's middle name was Ann, and she was b. 1828, with the dates so close to James children birthdates, I guess she could be James daughter. She could be named after her mother and aunt. I notice Louisa and Silas, both sound like names with a spanish flare like Saleta.
