I do have quite a bit of information; too much to put on the message board. I did e-mail you with some of it and I would like to exchange information with you. This Ingles family basically stayed in the same area. All of them, starting with Peter and his siblings, were born in Dearborn Co., Indiana. They moved to Illinois in 1852, locating in Rutland Twp., LaSalle Co. In 1857 they moved to Mission Twp., LaSalle Co., near Norway, Illinois. They later moved to Sheridan, Illinois, which is just a few miles from Norway. There is still a lot of us in this same area (about a 20 mile range). E-mail me back if you think we're family. I would love to hear from you. Linda

James Bridges. Among the old settlers of Mahaska County who have lived to see it develop from its primitive condition the fine agricultural position it occupies in comparison with other counties in the State, and who has done his share toward its advancement, is the subject of this notice. He came to this county when twenty-nine years of age, in June, 1849, and has made a continuous residence here since that date. He is a gentleman who has accumulated what he has of this world's goods through his own energy and perseverance, and in the sunset of life is enabled to retire from active labor; he resides on the corner of South and Marion streets, Oskaloosa. James Bridges was born in DEARBORN COUNTY, IND., near Aurora, Aug. 7, 1820, and is a son of Bartholomew and Pruah (Green) Bridges. When eleven years of age he accompanied his parents to Indianapolis, and three miles from that city was occupied in farming. He was married in Indianapolis, Feb. 2, 1843, to Miss Elizabeth, d! aughter of John Taylor. She was born in Smyrna, Kent Co., Del., and bore her husband four children, two sons and two daughters: James J. was twice married; first to Miss Emma, and secondly, to Miss Nettie Ferry, and is at present residing in Courtland, Neb.; Hannah U. became the wife of William B. Harris, a farmer of Monroe Township, this county; William R. married Hettie S. Fisher, and they are living near Indianapolis, this county; Mary I. is the wife of Eli C.

Mr. Bridges was a member of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Iowa General Assemblies, and is the only man who has been his own successor in this county. He has held the minor offices of the county, such as Township Supervisor, School Director, Treasurer, etc. He was at one time proprietor of about 800 acres of land, but has divided it up among his children, with the exception of one farm of 120 acres, which he still owns, and is now living in retirement. Socially he is a member of the Masonic fraternity, belonging to Triluminar Lodge at Oskaloosa. In politics he is a Republican, having voted with that party since its organization, and prior to that time was a Whig. He is a gentleman respected for his integrity, and is one of Mahaska County'! s leading and foremost citizens. Source: Portrait & Biographical Album of Mahaska Co., Iowa 1887

Surnames: Tibbetts/Henderson/McKinney/Koehler Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Sh.2ADI/1711.1.1 Message Board Post: Patrick, Thanks for the response and adding my query to the board. I am still searching these Tibbetts families trying to be sure I get the right one. You mentioned George Tibbetts in Fayette County. Is there any known relation to John Tibbetts? Could there be? It looks like my Hester Ann and Isaac Henderson first went to Brown County, IL. I have found them in the 1860 census there. Then they migrated back in a southeasterly direction to Fayette County. I know that Isaac was dead by 1880, but I doun't know exactly when he died. I have thought that Hester may have some relationship with the Tibbetts in Effingham and moved back in that direction after she was widowed? Lynn
