Notes for Robert Hamilton Bridges:
Robert Bridges was Postmaster at Harrisville, Mississippi

Roberts wife, Annie, was the daughter of William Jefferson Burkett -- William's fourth marriage was to Robert's mother, Almanza -- thus making William, not only Annie's father, but her father-in-law.

This is one of those complicated "intermarriages" for sure!
