Book Description
Descendants of Robert Bridges of Fifeshire, Scotland and his wife Mary Landon of Marknick, Fifeshire, Scotland through their sons, David (1730-1813), Thomas (d. shortly after 1793), James, William Robert (1725-1801), and Andrew. David Briggs was born in Fifeshire, Scotland. He married Jean McDo- nald, daughter of Neal McDonald, Episcopal rector of Brunswick Parish near Fredericksburg, Virginia in 1771. David immigrated to Virginia in the summer of 1752 and settled at Falmouth. Thomas came to Warrick, Virginia in 1793. He was also born in Fife- shire. He married Catherine Cuman of Leslie, Scotland. When Thomas died shortly after their arrival in Virginia, Catherine journeyed to Kentucky with Thomas's brother, Andrew. Years later she married Isaac Stephens in Warren Co., Kentucky. She died 1834 in Warren Co. William Robert came from Leslie, Scotland in 1754. He went first to Westmoreland Co., then to Culpeper, Co., Virginia and finally to Bardstown, Kentucky where he died 1801. He married Judith Wroe 1760. Andrew immigrated in 1791 and settled near Bardstown, Kentucky. He never married. When the sons of Robert Bridges came to America they changed their name to Briggs. Descendants live in Kentucky and elsewhere.
