I descend from Mary Dickenson and her second husband Jesse Williams. I have Mary Dickinson married to the Mr. Bridges as you do (didn't know his name was Edwin--thanks for that). Then she married Jesse Williams who was born 11 Feb 1744/45 and died 22 Apr 1818. They had a son named Jesse Williams who has the birth and death dates you mentioned (13 May 1772-10 Nov 1836. If I am correct on this, Edwin Bridges would have had to have died before 1772 when Mary's first Williams son was born. I've collected a little on this family so far but would love to know about the time Mary Dickenson Bridges Williams spent in Robertson County, TN. Do you know if she was born there? Mary and Jesse Williams had a daughter Mary who married first John Denton (one of the Denton children was my g-g-g grandfather, Jesse Denton who married Nancy Ann Gunn. I'd love to discuss this in more detail with you. Linda
