Excerpts taken from the "Broad River Genealogical Society Quarterly" Vol XVI No. 3 August 1996. Attributed to James Carson Elliott a former private in Co. F, 56th NC. "Ezekiel Bridges furnished 8 sons to the Army. Uncle Zeke and his boys were as loyal and enthusiastic for the cause as any -- all were good and faithful to the last." Four of Ezekiel's boys in gray never made it home.
"Ezekiel was a small man living on a small farm with a big family." (James C. Elliott, "Civil War History," Eswau Huppeday 14, No. 4; Nov 1994)
"He (Ezekiel) abused his family, after not infrequent drinking bouts, and finally, one of his daughters sewed him up in a sheet after he passed out and then beat him with a stick." The next morning he was told that he had been set upon in the woods and beaten by someone. This process was repeated a few time, and Ol' Zeke decided he would give up drinking.
