A quick search of my family history website ( http://thomasandbridges.com/index.php ) shows that our name changed to Bridges when we moved to KY, and that we were in the same area of North Carolina as Isabella Finlayson and John Crawford Bridgers. I haven't had time to trace the link through the Bridgers side, but I am sure its there.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if this is more disconcerting to you or me, but I thought I'd share!<BR/><BR/>Good stuff . . .<BR/><BR/>darrylDarrylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398127953668918227noreply@blogger.com
