Excerpt: BackgroundChristianityProtestantismHistory of Central AmericaHistory of South AmericaThe Roman Catholic Church and ColonialismHistory of Christian missions Thomas Bridges (18421898) was the first Anglican missionary to succeed in setting up a mission in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. The mission was located at what is now the town of Ushuaia. On his retirement from missionary service he received a grant of land from the Argentine government and became a rancher. His origins are obscure. His tombstone, in Chacarita Cemetery, Buenos Aires records that he died on July 15, 1898 aged 55 years. Thus he was born in about 1842. The local people in Ushuaia report that he was found on a bridge in Bristol on St Thomas' Day and named after the day and location. Jimmy Burns states 'In 1851 George Pakenham Despard found a baby boy ... abandoned on a small footbridge in Bristol. There were no messages or documents on the child but he was dressed in an immaculate frock and around his neck was a locket engraved with the letter T. George Despard decided that the child was a catholic and from a rich family and adopted him. He christened him Thomas. The boy was eventually told the circumstances of his adoption and chose for himself the surname Bridges in memory of the meeting that had saved his life'. There are some obviously questionable items in this report. The date must have been closer to 1842 than 1851. Why did George Despard conclude that the boy was a catholic, Despard was an Anglican priest, and what is the relevance? Why would someone found on a bridge choose the name Bridges rather than Bridge?...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=13792462We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
