to “A Leaf on the Family Tree”, a blog which celebrates the lives of over 400 individuals whose one thing they have in common is that they are “kinfolk.” Each one is a descendant of James and Mary Standley Thomas and/or Drury and Charity Cahoon Bridges and they are Leafs on this family tree.
Listed below is an alphabetical listing by first name of each family member celebrated in the blog. At the right of the name is a date where they appear in the blog. Just go to the list of dates on the upper right of this page and click on the year, then the month and then the name of person and you will be directed to their Leaf.
If you have any questions, comments, correction or otherwise, please contact your blogger, Charles Kenneth Bridges at thomasbridgesfamilyleafs@gmail.com If you have a family member that you would like to see featured on the blog, please feel free to compose the leaf and contact me at the aforementioned email for additional information. The only criteria for being a Leaf is that the individual be a descendant or spouse of James Thomas or Drury Bridges and that they be deceased.
I hope you enjoy reading these family stories as much as I enjoyed researching the lives of our “kinfolk.”
Charles Kenneth
