Note: Estimated birth based on birth of daughter Samantha 1861.
Martha appears to be the daughter of Dr. Bridwell, since she appears with him in the 1850 census. Dr. Bridwell is mentioned in the history of Lawrence and Monroe Co. Indiana. Dr. Bridwell was a Miller, born in Kentucky. Noah Bridwell and his son, Hayden Bridwell, appear in the same county history and are likely descendants - also in the milling business. According to World Connect, Noah Bridwell was married Nancy Cuppy (born on Cox'x Creek) in Nelson Co. KY. This surely makes him a relative of Daniel Bridwell from that same area.
Maud Russell 1937: “Compiled and drawn by Maud Russell, McAlester, Oklahoma (1937) from bible records and other records, remembrances of older relatives, county records, History of Sullivan and Green Counties, Indiana, by Professor John W. Spencer (1887). Information furnished by many relatives, notably, Miss Gay Edna Calvert.”
Mary L. Pickrell, March 1979: “This information was taken from a chart on file at the Vigo County Library, Terre Haute, Indiana.”
“ The information was compiled and the chart drawn by Maud Russell, McAlester, Oklahoma, 1931, from bible and other private records, county records, and the Pound Genealogy as to some dates.”
“Also on file at the Vigo County Library is a chart on the St.Clair family which was also prepared by Maud Russell. In comparing the Fanny/Siner/Eli St.Clair section, a few discrepancies were found.”
World Connect references some very old Bridwell family.
