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."
