Hi, I am new to this list. I have described below what I know about my HOWE ancestors (sorry, it's not much): Sarah Howe (daughter of James Howe and Elizabeth Dane) b ca 1650 m 05Dec1666 to John Bridges d bef Mar1678 Sarah and John had a son James Bridges b 03Jan1671 in Topsfield, Essex Co, MA m 24May1692 in Andover, Essex Co, MA to Sarah Marston d 24Apr1739 in Andover, Essex Co, MA A great number of the Bridges-family events occur in and around Essex Co, MA and I am guessing that Sarah and her family may have been from that area as well. If any of the above names or places ring a bell, I would be delighted to hear from you to compare notes. Rick Rusinak rusinak@freenet.msp.mn.us Dodge Co. MNGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~mndodge
