Their daughter Anna Drum b 28 FEb 1799 married Elisha Bridges. Their son James Sidney Bridges married an Amanda and had Elenor V Cordelia Bridges b Dec 1858. Cordelia married Hartwell Jacob Aderboldt and had Bessie Ruth Aderholdt 21 Oct 1899. Bessie married Ernest Howard Hunsucker 1921 Catawba Co NC. This makes Bessie and Ernest 2nd cousins 2x removed. According to a letter in the Hunsucker book written by James Sidney Bridges his mother was Ann Drum daughter of William Drum and Susannah Hunsucker. Ann was the daughter who didn't go to Missouri according to Sidney's story.

She married also an Elisha Bridges but his middle initial was L.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I have interest in the Elisha Bridges family because of the Drum connection. This is interesting and provides some new information to me.
