    Notes 
    • The husband of Jenny Strickland (dau. of Solomon Strickland and Amy Pace) should be Wiley Jones Bridges. Someone once put down James Bridges Sr. on a family group sheet at one point in time and now hundreds of people have that information and no one has documentation for it. So I learned a very valuable lesson about putting down anything on a group sheet that you aren't sure of. It causes confusion down the road. The only thing you can do is continue to stick your neck out and ask questions and continue to search for the documentation yourself as we all are.

      1. Family Bible of Ezekiel J. Bridges b. 1817 in Newton Co.,GA states that his father was Wiley J. Bridges and Jane
      2. Wiley Jones Bridges lived in Madison Co. on Brushy Creek until about 1815. He is listed in some probate documents of Madison Co. as "Jones" Bridges -- could this be what other researchers saw as James?
      3. Wiley Jones Bridges loaned Barnabas Strickland (son of Solomon) $240 and sued him for that amount in 1840 in Jasper Co.,GA
      4. Names of some of the children of Wiley Jones Bridges are clues to a relationship with the Strickland family : Ezekiel J., Solomon T., Anselem 'Ancel' S.

      I'm still looking for more proof, because no marriage can be found, but I believe that my "proof" stands better under fire, than any other possibility. I did not mean to cast aspersions on anyone else's research. Without previous research we would be starting at ground zero. What may seem like a *small* discrepancy to someone who is not connected to the direct Jenny Strickland line, is not small at all to one who is trying to prove descendancy from that line.
