Biography:
BRIDGWATER, Henry (d 1833)
No records have been found for his birth and parentage but 230 acres of arable land in Chesterfield County VA were sold as part of his estate after his death in 1833 and it seems likely that he was born into a farming family. On 8 June 1821 he married Mary Franklin in Chesterfield. There were two other marriages of Bridgwater men in Chesterfield in 1825 and 1826, possibly brothers. The title-page of his only known publication identifies him as "L. P."--presumably "Licensed Preacher" but it is not known for what denomination.
