Anna P. Adair, the oldest daughter of Gov. and Mrs. Katherine P. Adair,
was born in SC, April 8, 1786.
She married Hon. John L. Bridges, who was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of KY. He was a very prestigious Judge.
They had 6 daughters and 4 sons.
Isabella, b. 1804, m. Dr. Robert L. Scruggs,
Benjamin F Bridges, b1806,
another daughter married Dr. Thayer.
That is all I have on three of the six children of that union.
This is from the Adair History and Genealogy.

OTHER REFS TO John L. BRIDGES:
Subject: Ligon/Bridges/Peerson


John-
I went to your Bridges site today, and realized that I have recently
found information which concerns the Bridges Family line. You may
already have this, but I didn't find it on the site.

Mercer County Kentucky Records Volume II
p. 99 Hall Pierson to Elizabeth Bridges, with Martin Bottom as surety,
August 13, 1805. Consent of John Bridges for his daughter 15 August
1805. witnessed by Jacob Bottom and Martin Bottom.

p. 101 Jacob Bottom to Polly Bridges, with Hall Pierson as surety, May
15, 1805. Consent of John Bridges for his daughter, same date, witnessed by
Martin Bottom and Hall Pierson.

p. 187 William Perrigo to Elizabeth Pearson, with John L. Bridges as
surety, October 4, 1819.

p . 289 Nathan Stone to Eliza W. Peerson, with William Perrigo as
surety, January 17, 1831. William Perrigo certified that his
stepdaughter was of age.

The will of Sherwood Peerson in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, lists
Eliza Peirson as his granddaughter. I assume that the above Eliza, is the same.

I apologize for not having full bibliographical information for the above source.
I will need to go back to the library to check it. Obviously the records are transcriptions.

According to the Peerson Bible at the Library of Virginia Digital
Library, Hall Peerson died in Kentucky in December of 1807. Apparently
his brother, Joseph, died the same day.
