According to Elmer G. Bridgham, Samuel was a fifer in the
Continental Army in his father's company.

Sopha Bridgham

Gravesite


Derrick Bridgham

See cemetery  Headstone

Gravesite, stone is hard to read in picture, but last digit of year of death is a 0 and last digit of age was a 2.   1820 census in Hebron shows father Samuel (b. 1763) with two sons age 10-16, guessing that Derrick was born in 1808 and died at age 22 in 1830.
1810 Minot census shows two boys, 0-10.


unknown male Bridgham

1820 census (Hebron) shows Samuel (b.1763). with two sons, age 10-16. Guessing that Derrick is one, and the other is unknown.

Cyrus Henry Bridgham

See cemetery  Headstone

See his will

Elmer G. Bridgham says he was born Sept. 2., which is contradicted
by his tombstone.   According to Elmer: "As I recall what I heard
the old people say about him I judge that he was a hard worker.
The old men at West Minot told me that I was the image of him.
He was a farmer and at times worked in the grist mill."


Caroline Bridgham

See cemetery  Headstone

There is a guardianship record in Worcester  County MA in 1837 for Caroline Crocker, resident of Oakham.  Also, a probate record for Caroline Crocker, 1892, Weymouth, Norfolk, MA. However, she had married Cyrus Henry Bridgham in 1851, so her name is a problem.  She may have resumed being called Crocker after Cyrus died in 1863.
