    3. Does anyone have the following family? In the 1860 Spartanburg Census my great great grandfather is listed-- Cowpens Furnace enumerated Aug. 25, 1860 Page 283 A/B House 1208 Alexander Bridges age 25 day laborer Rebecca, F. 23 Marcus, M. 3 Nancy Cantrell, F. 20 in the house next door--- Page 283A house 1207 Mary Bridges age 48 farmer Dicey, F. 22 Sandie, F. 20 William, M. 18 Rhoda, F. 16 Nicholas, M. 14 PJ or Q, 12 Amanda, F. 10 Four days earlier this family wass listed at Algood-- August 21, 1860 Algood Page 293B, house 1360 Mary Bridges, 45, farmer Dicey, 25 William, 21 Pricey, 20 Nicholas, 16 Passey J., 12 Amanda, 10 Alexander Bridges, 25, day labor Rebecca, 23 Marcus 3 Nancy Cantrell. We don't know why this family is in the 1860 Census twice. Alex 's tombstone has him born 1828 and died 1911. Alex was in the Civil War and also in the KKK. Alex was arrested and sent to Jail for the KKK. I also know that Nicholas was in the KKK. Rebecca was born 1829 and died 1930. She lived to be over 100 years old. Rebecca was a Cantrell. Her parents were Charlie Cantrell and Betty Gauslin. Does anyone know anything on this family? I was told that Alex father was James. Alex and Rebecca are buried at Cherokee Creek Baptist Church Cemetery, Gaffney, S. C. Thanks Judy
