Jessie Loren Bridges1
b. September 1859, d. April 1940
Father | Jerome Bridges1,2 b. 18 Oct 1818, d. 31 Jan 1901 |
Mother | Sarah Margaret Isabella Buchanan1,3 b. 10 Dec 1830, d. 11 Aug 1865 |
Birth | Sep 1859 | Jessie Loren Bridges was born in Sep 1859 in Missouri.4,5 |
Moth-Death | 11 Aug 1865 | Jessie was about 5 years old when her mother died. She spent her childhood with her older siblings on their father's farm in Schuyler County, Missouri.4,2 |
Marriage | 29 Sep 1881 | She married first James Haney on 29 Sep 1881.1 |
Marriage | 27 Oct 1892 | She married second John Shobe on 27 Oct 1892 in Schuyler County, Missouri.6 |
Cens-1900 | 12 Jun 1900 | The 1900 census enumeration for Fabius township in Schuyler County found Jessie and John with a large family that included "his", "hers" and "theirs". John was 53 years old and employed as a farmer. He appears to have first stated that he was married 33 years but that had been overwritten. Four older Shobe children were listed as his sons or daughters (ages 21 to 13); no doubt children from his earlier marriage. Also listed as his children were Martha Shobe, 5, and Jim Shobe 3, who would have been his and Jessie's children. In addition, 2 Haney children were listed as John's stepchildren: Myrtle, age 16 and Benny, age 14.5 |
Jessie also stated on the 1900 census that she was the mother of 5 children, all of whom were living. However, only 4 of the children enumerated with she and John appear to be hers, either from her marriage to John or her earlier marriage to James Haney. Another source (which does not list Myrtle or Benny as her offspring) does list a son William B. Haney, b. 26 Jan. 1885 and d. March 10, 1977. Perhaps William was living elsewhere in 1900 or was he really the same person as "Benny"?5,7 | ||
Cens-1910 | Apr 1910 | In 1910 Jessie again stated she was the mother of 5 children, all of whom were living. However, in the years between the 1900 and 1910 census she had given birth to another daughter, suggesting the count of 5 living children offered for her in 1900 was not accurate.8 |
Widowed | 2 Dec 1919 | Jessie was widowed a second time when John died on 2 Dec 1919 in Schuyler County. The attending physician was Jessie's brother J.B. Bridges.9 |
Cens-1920 | 27 Jan 1920 | Jessie appears to have stayed on the family farm in Fabius township following John's death; she was recorded there with her son James (23) and daughter Lena (17) in 1920.10 |
Cens-1930 | 2 May 1930 | By 1930 Jessie was 70 years old. Her widowed daughter, Martha Robinson, had returned home with her 12 year old son John. Jessie's daughter Lena, age 28 and single, completed the family.11 |
Death | Apr 1940 | Jessie died in Apr 1940 in Schuyler County, Missouri, at age 80.12 |
