James M Bridges, 1852-1923,

Jeremiah Bridges, Abt. 1859-??
Judah S (Bridges) Lowery, 1861-1963
Elizabeth A (Bridges) Crawford, 1868-1902
No death or burial record has been located for Jonathan. He is last found on the 1870 census so it appears he died in Whitfield County between 1870 and 1880. His wife Elizabeth continued to live in the area until her death in 1909. She is buried in the Dunagan Cemetery in Rocky Face. Many of Jonathan's descendants continue to live in the Whitfield County area to this day.
This Jonathan Bridges should not be confused with the Jonathan Bridges, son of Thomas Bridges, who died in Missouri in 1880. They are most definitely two different people. No documentation has been located to identify Jonathan's parents. Any information regarding Jonathan's parents, death, or burial would be much appreciated.
