    Notes:

    Who is Thomas Bridges? A brother, father, other? Found in Greene County at the same time as Herod.


    Does not appear in the 1817 Putnam Co., Georgia tax list

    Does not appear in the 1820 Putnam Co., Georgia tax list

    Does not appear in the 1852 Putnam Co., Georgia tax list - probably moved to Louisiana in 1851

    Putnam county tax lists for 1817, 1820, 1824, 1830-1833, 1836-1839, and 1852 checked.

    Why do I think that Herod & Margaret were married in Greene County?

    Residence:
    Interestingly, Herod bridges is just one page away from Lewis Deshazo. And John Tomlinson, clearly a relative of Mary Tomlinson Wren, is the captain.

    Misc:
    State of Georgia, Putnam County. This is to notify those to whom it may concern that I, Herod Bridges, did on the 12th day of February, 1820, loose from my pocket a book containing the following notes: On Joseph Parks of Morgan County, sixteen $25.00 notes.. one note on Locklin Johnston of Putnam County for $16.00... one on Edward Gallin of Morgan County for $12.00 ... one note on John Ward of Greene County for $17.00 ... one on Sion Hudson of Morgan County for $14.00 ... all persons are forewarned against tradin for the above described notes... (signed) Herod Bridges. Sworn to and subscribed before me, one of the acting Justices of Putnam County. (signed) B. Williams, J.P.

    Census:
    Enumeration - 10001-301, Slaves 0

    Herod Bridges is in the same district as William K Deshazo. Mom's family and Dad's family are neighbors in 1820.

    Possessions:
    Herod Bridges paid 2 polls, had 105 acres of 2nd quality land in Putnam County on Rocky Creek and 202 1/2 acres of pine land in Houston County in the 14th district, lot number 91. The Houston county land looks like it could be a land lottery lot.

    Possessions:
    Witnessed by G.W. Wren

    Census:
    Enumerated as 211001-111101-121-0011-Total 16

    Residence:
    Herod Bridges is taxed for 5 polls, 300 acres 3rd class land along Rocky Creek. Total Due $1.93 3/4

    5 polls indicates that he must have 4 slaves.

    Possessions:
    This appears to be a case where Herod Bridges sold land to McCarroll Penifoy and then bought it back from the estate of Mc. Penifoy's father William the same day. Perhaps it was a land exchange with the estate - like for like. The descriptions of the property are similar and along the same waterway.

    Possessions:
    This appears to be the 2nd half of a land exchange.

    Residence:
    Herod Bridges is taxed for 8 polls, 300 acres 3rd class land along Rocky Creek. Tax due: $2.15 3/4

    8 polls indicates that he owned 7 slaves

    Residence:
    Herod Bridges is taxed for 11 1/2 polls, 300 acres 3rd class land along Rocky Creek. 11 1/2 polls indicates that he owns 10 slaves. I am not sure what the 1/2 poll indicates.

    Residence:
    Herod Bridges is taxed for 12 1/2 polls, 300 acres 3rd class land along Rocky Creek. Tax due: $2.14

    Possessions:
