  5. ↑ It is pretty obvious that William Dawson Bridge just copied from William F. Bridge, including apparent inaccuracies in birth dates, and adding it own by omitting the son Joseph in this family. Neither gives any real evidence. It would appear the death in Georgia is based on family tradition, and the surrounding facts are far from reassuring, as a child is born in Maine 1815, a mere two years prior to their alleged 1817 death very far removed in Georgia, and yet the two surviving daughters both end up marrying in New England.
