Was beginning to doubt my great great grandparents existed, until this week when a Sharon Howland did a look up for me in some census records. Does anyone out there have any connections to the BRIDGES family of the Marion area? Edwin P. BRIDGES was the son of Abraham BRIDGESand the former Ruth SMITH. he married Katherine DAVIS, year unknown (guestimate is 1865-1868). found out that Edwin had 5 siblings, Elihua, Irene, Charles, Elizabeth and John f. also looks like Abraham's mother shows up in the 1860 census at the age of 86. she was born in Massachusetts abt. 1874. apparently Edwin and Katherine at least three children, Carrie M. b. abt. 1868, Harvey, and my husband's great grandmother, Edna G. (born 1875). thanks, Sally Rowe Livonia, MI
