Elizabeth Taylor was the daughter of Charles and Stepdaughter of Ann Hardin of Marion County,
Mississippi. Charles Taylor was one of the first white men to settle in Mississippi.
Charles Taylor came through Mississippi during the War of 1812 and liked what he
saw and decided to stay. Charles Taylor's daughter Helena Taylor married Hezekiah
Slade. Helena Taylor and Hezekiah Slade had a daughter Elizabeth Slade who later
married Hezekiah Rouse. Ann Taylor was full-blooded Creek Indian. Ann Taylor, after the death of
her husband Charles settled in Diboll, Angelina County, Texas with her nephew Griffin Hardin. In the 1860's she was living with the Smith family. Reference the Angeline
County census. Ann is buried in an unmarked grave next to Griffin Hardin in the Rhyne Cemetary in Diboll, Texas near Lufkin. Ann's sister is also buried there.
Griffin Henry Hardin, born 15 July 1838 in Mississippi and died 25 July 1922 in
Dioboll, Angeline County, Texas. Griffin married Jane Johnson born in Alabama.
The 1850 Marion County Mississippi Census, has Elizabeth Taylor as born in South
Carolina in 1803. That means Ann Taylor was not her biological mother, because
Ann was born in 1797.

Family Stories by Ellen Bridges
and Gladys Coulter
"The Bridges have always liked fine horses and as you know your grand daddy, Orlan rode a horse for years after everyone else bought cars and trucks. He always said he was born too late. As far as he was concerned everything was just fine until cars came along. His daddy, Hosea was the same way. He always had his special horse for his buggy, and it was important to him that he had a good image in the community when he went out in public. His buggy horse
got careful grooming and was always "stall fed" every night. "
"Daddy" has told me lots of times about two of the "Bridges boys" who were in the Civil War, John and Joe Bridges. John was Joe's Uncle. Anyway, Joe had a very fine saddle horse and in the Battle of Vicksburg, they were being driven by the Yankee Advance Guard when John and Joe were holed up in a cotton house. They had a good advantage and were "picking off" the Yankees one by one as they made an approach. When the fight got really "hot", John decided it was time to make a run for it. He told Joe to come on but Joe decided to stay an get "one more damn Yankee". That was the last time he saw Joe alive. Later he got Joe's horse and was going to send it home but some of the other soldiers said he wasn't going to do it, so John pulled his pistol on them and said he would kill the first man who laid a hand on the horse. He had no takers and the horse was sent home. I think John rode home himself with the horse." (Gladys)
"There was an old story from way back about one of the Bridges boys who was "Courting" a girl in the community. I won't tell his name because the family still doesn't like it. Anyway, he had met the girl several times and fell in love with her. He wanted to marry her and she agreed, but when he went to her father for his permission, her father refused. He said she was too young and not to come back around them again."
"The Bridges boy knew the real reason he got turned down, that the girl's father didn't like him and didn't approve of him. For a while they didn't Court each other but one day he was able to speak to her and ask if she still wanted to get married. She said yes, so they made plans to elope."
"Not too long after that the Bridges boy quietly packed his personal belongings in his saddle bags, saddled his horse and went to the girl's home. When he got to a spot near the house he got down off his horse and set fire to a Broom Sage Patch, which went up in a terrible blaze of smoke and fire. He had timed it when everyone would be close to or inside the house. He then quickly circled around to the other side of the house to the Girl's bedroom window. They had planned that when the family discovered the fire and ran to put it out, she would pretend to go with them, but would come back to her room and wait for him to ride up and put her on his horse, which he did and made their get-a-way."
"The horse was carrying quite a load with both of them and her belongings too. He figured if they were discovered too soon the family would catch up with them, and no telling what they would do to him, so he rode as hard as he could to a hiding place he had picked out. They were barely in time, for the pursuit was right behind them. They slipped away that night and rode over into the next County to his Uncle's place. They were married the next day."
" The Girl's family never did forgive him, but I think, years later they accepted it" (Ellen). (Lillian Bridges Hughes states that this story originated in the Jackson/Daughdrill families and was not a Bridges story )
" There was another Bridges boy who wasn't quite so lucky. He stole a horse and went up North. It happened just before the Civil War, and when war broke out he was arrested for a Spy and stayed in prison during the whole war. He never came back South though. Several years after that a couple of his children came back to claim their part of the family inheritance." (Gladys)
