James Bridges 28 MO/NC/IL
wife Martha 24 TX/GA/TN
son Geo 5 TX
dau Pernelopy 3 TX
son Lee 9/12 TX

But next door is Gilford Bridges 69 NC with wife Jancy(?) 53 TN.
Next door in the other direction is John Hickman 26 TX/GA/TN who is likely the Martha's brother.
That's probably James Madison Bridges who had a son Gilford Louis 1874-10-23.
The older Gilford is in Lawrence Co MO on the 1850 and 1860 censuses and has a son James H 1838 MO.

1870 census Lawrence Co MO p550a
