Thanks so much for the information! You really helped a lot. I have found some info that Gideion and Nancy Brooks had 3 girls: Perlina Moye, Irene Arrena Moye, and Levisa Moye she born in Pitt Co. Also Nancy Brooks Moye married a Wilson #2. Nancy's father was probably James Brooks b. abt 1740 d.1806 and his father may be John Brooks married Elizabeth Rigney. A great number of these Pitt Co people ended up in Brunswick Co NC and HorryCoSC as did my grtGrdf Joseph Craven Bridger who married Lunicey Forbes dau of Robert and GraceyTyson Forbes. Many of the names on the RW Pledge of Alleg are family names in the area. Joseph C's father was Robert Bridger married Nancy Moye Bridger Wallace d. 1875. Send me more thoughts and ideas. We'll keep looking. #2 Wallace took care of Joseph C after Nancy married him, but Joseph C. told the family he grew up in an orphanage. I think someone took care of Robert as he grew up but I don't think it was his parents. Maybe Elsa died and Joseph Bridger went back home. I can't find much about the Bridger family in Pitt Co. Lunicey Forbes Bridger had a brother who lived in Georgetown Co SC before she moved there with Joseph C.
