THey had at least 5 children, James M., Elder, Sarah, > Mary, and Thomas. Below is some pieces I have gathered. I would also > like to know who the M Amicy female age 79 born in North Carolina is in the > 1850 McDonough County census further down in this message. John Bridges > died in 1844 in a farming accident as I was told by someone, I see that > Thomas is not in the 1850 census, could! > it be that he was killed in the same accident or perhaps died other ways > in the 1840's? Any information on Frances Miller would be helpful too. I > have added other lists in the email address with names that are related to > the Bridges.
