I looked in a 1850 Index that list head-of-household only and without a town it would be impossible to seach all the Davis families! 1870 Index list H-Of-H too: There are 2 Edwin Bridges: BRIDGES, EDWIN 27 M W MEDDYBEMPS, WASHINGTON CO., ME roll. 563 p.405 . BRIDGES, EDWIN P 31 M W MARION. WASHINGTON CO., ME roll 563 p.396 You may want to to order her death doc. from the town. It might list her place of birth and other info. Here is the Washington County USGenWeb Project web site. It will have addresses and other links to help you out. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~mewashin/">Washington Co., ME GenWeb</A> http://www.rootsweb.com/~mewashin/
