I then checked the 1860 census for any Ashby Dawson to see if he had a sister Sarah and I found the followingh/hold for Dawson's as follows=
=--=
Name Age ..1860
Mahala Dawson 46
William F Dawson 22
Susan Dawson 20
#Sarah Dawson 18
*Ashly/Ashby Dawson 16
Turner Dawson 14
Bradford Dawson 12
Mary Dawson 10
Benjamin Dawson 8 .
Home in 1860: North East Revenue District, Fauquier, Virginia .
-=-==--=-==-=-
* The indexes to 1860 census has Ashly Dawson. However, after seeing the original handwriting on the censusI could see it was Ashby and not Ashly. The 'b' was mistaken for 'L'
I think your James Bridge married Sarah DAWSON c.1861.
Hope this is ofsome help.
