James Bridgers and William Bridgers appear on the 1780 Tax Listing of Greene Co, apparently in the Wheat Swamp-Hookerton area south of Snow Hill.I feel that this William married two Smith sisters and later lived in Smithfield.He died about 1789.A Wayne County Deed 2/341 records a gift of 5 slaves to
William, son of Mary Bridges(d 9/9/1784), from Steven Cobb, who was a friend of William and may have been his brother-in-law.Hope this helps.
