Briggs Gender: Male Spouse Name: Roana S. Bridge Marriage Date: Oct 06, 1855 Marriage County: Winnebago Comments: This record can be found at the County Court Records located at Rockford, IL. NOTE: These individuals are not to be confused with the Joel BRIGGS and Roana or Rowena BRIDGE who were m. abt. 1840 prob. in South Dansville, Steuben Co. NY. The 1870 Fond de Lac household includes second wife Ellen M. BRIGGS and 67-year-old Eliza TOWN, whom I take to be her widowed mother. Both were b. in VT. I would check Winnebago Co. IL in 1850 to find Joel's parents. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
