FTDNA Test Kit# 8546, Group 4 (Haplogroup: J, Terminal SNP: J-M172, Previous Haplogroup: J2) (Ysearch User ID # -----) - (chart to be submitted for this page by test subject)

The accuracy of the ancestor chart is the responsibility of the test subject.

NOTE: It is questionned if the below Joseph Bridges b. ca 1715/20 is the same Joseph Bridges from Surry Co. VA (son of William Bridges d. ca 1762 and Susannah d. ca 1765) who moved from Surry Co. VA ca 1745 to Cedar Creek and Crooked Creek area of then Granville Co. NC (now southern Franklin Co.) and disappers from the Granville Co. records prior ca 1762. The Frederick Co. VA Bridges Y-DNA matches the Franklin Co. NC Bridges Y-DNA.
