Moses Bridges, Junior
Moses Bridges, Junior, was born 12 October 1773 in Virginia and married Mary Blackburn the 17th day of January, 1796. Mary was born 8 Jul 1774. It is thought, but yet unproven, that Moses and Mary married in Franklin County Tennessee, where both families were living at the time. Moses died in 1830 in Simpson County Mississippi. No proof of the burial site of either Moses or Mary has been found.
The obituary of Moses is recorded in the Wilkinson County Mississippi newspaper, "The Woodville Republican". The issue published 9 October 1830 reads: "Died at his residence in Simpson County, 57 years of age, Moses Bridges, formerly of Pike County. For 25 years, a Baptist."
