The daughter of Edward and Elleora (unknown surname), Bridget was married to Edward Macauley, Sr. He was born in Ireland around 1788 and was a farmer in Calhoun County, Illinois. They were the parents of at least 5 children.
Edward probably died in the 1860's.
Known children from first marriage: 4 sons, 1 daughter.
Bridget remarried after Edward's death. Her second husband's surname was Schort or Schuzt. He died before 1880, and Bridget then lived with her son, Edward, and his family.
Children from second marriage: None.
At the time of her death, Bridget was about 85-years-old. St. Mary's Catholic Church records have her age at death recorded as 95. Census records have her birth as about 1799. The birth dates of her youngest children also suggest that the church record is almost certainly incorrect.
She was buried on 14 Aug 1884.
