Here's what I see in the 1850, Spartanburg Dist., SC: house 2353 pg 269 James BRIDGES, 35 yrs., w, m, b. SC, farmer Polly, 33 yrs., w, f, all this family b. SC Dica, 14, w, f, William, 12, w, m, Vara, 10, w, f, Rhoda, 8, w, f, Alexander, 6, w, m, Nichols Nick, 6, w, m, Elizabeth, 4, w, f, Mary, 1, w, f "Polly" is a common nickname for Mary and this family is prob. the one you listed with Mary as the HOH in the 1860 census. Dicey is prob. also Dica, etc. The question is if "Nichols Nick" BRIDGES is a twin to Alexander??? They are the same age in 1850 or is one of them a child that was taken in for some reason or other. If Betty GAUSLIN was his mother she must have died bef. 1850, and I would guess that she died betw/the births of Elizabeth and Mary as there is a larger gap betw/those two births than any other births in the family, or could your Alexander have been illegitimate, as many were, and brought into the home to raise w/James's other children, thereby, explaining why he and Nick were the same age??? Nichols Nick is listed w/BRIDGES as his last name also. Checked and found this family not too far from the BRIDGES family in 1850: house 2254 p. 258 Susan CANTRELL, age, 32, w, f, all born in SC C. CANTRALL, age 30, w, m, farmer Randall, 14, w, m, Rebecca, 12, w, f, Nissy, 11, w, f, Nancy, 10, w, f, Newman, 9, w, m, Mary, 8, w, f, Susan, 7, w, f, Thomas, 2, w, m, Emeline, 1, w, f This must be your Rebecca w/ her parents, Susan and C. (Charlie?) CANTRELL and sister Nancy who later is living w/her in 1860. Just in case, there are HORTON families on both sides of the CANTRELLS and lots of them. The house just bef. them is A. HORTON, age 78, w, m, b. SC, farmer, and Susan HORTON, age 66, w, f, b. SC. If I were going to look into something, I would look to see if this is the parents of Susan CANTRELL. I notice that there is an "Elex" HORTON, a Rebecca HORTON, etc., making the naming very similar. I hope this will be of some help to you.
