Martha, I don't find Joseph Bridges in the Pitt Co. 1790 census by Search or by browsing the five original Pitt Co. pages. No townships are listed...just Pitt Co. There was a Joseph Bridgers listed in Northampton Co. in 1790 and one listed in Greenville, SC. I do find four Pitt Co.deed abstracts in Ellison's. Book N p. 284 Jan. 13, 1795 Abraham Briley to Joseph Bridges 107A+36A+7A 180 pounds. Adj. to Jacob Little Abner Proctor. Former Owner: Nehemiah Wroten, John Paremore, William Briley. Wit: William Baldwyn, Joseph Daniel Book O p. 315 November 5, 1798 Joseph Bridger to William House. 107A+36A+7A+ for 270 pounds. Book R p. 6 William House to John House, son 107A+90A: 5 pounds Love and Affection. Former owner: Joseph Briges, Ira Proctor. Adj: William Mooring. Wit: Thomas Cannon, John Mooring. Book CC p. 413 Joseph Bridgers to Ben Ashley Atkinson. Negroes: $662.50. Wit: Frederick Barfield. Ellison's abtracts only go up to 1832. From Roger's Rough notes on the PCFR web site http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncpcfr/resources.htm Pitt Co. Deed book MM p. 35 Division of land of William W Wallace 1848. Heirs: 1.John Vines (Vinson) and wife Sally, 2.Joseph Bridgers, 3. Loty Wallace, 4. Gideon Wallace. The Pitt Co. census records from 1790 - 1850 are also on the website....plus many more Pitt Co. records. Maybe Joseph Bridges wasn't in Pitt Co. in 1790. If he was maybe he was living in someone else's household. He didn't buy land til 1795.

Anyone know of Speir Murphy who married a Nancy, maybe from Pitt or Greene? He is later in Catawba Co, but very early maybe in Pitt or Greene. I thought someone might have him as part of your family history. He was a shoemaker.
