POSTSCRIPT
Although the following two items are not about our ancestors, descendants in the Bright family may have heard their parents mention them:
Ann Heritage Moore's sister, Emma (Love), who moved to Texas, was killed by being thrown from a horse.
Ann Moore's brother, Johnny (Jack) Bright, married and had a son and a daughter. The daughter, Ann, was outside when a tornado came through Purvis. Her uncle reached out to get her and just as she was in his arras, a "scanthling" (fence post) hit and killed her.
i j^./t^^iere are several other very interesting stories about our ancestors, the Lo^icks and the Brights, that I have not included in the FOOTNOTES because these are -ftvnwly stories that cannot be documented.
According to papers in the Pensacola Historical Museum written by Emma Hamlin Mitch ell Colmant, daughter of Anna and James Bright Mitchell (brother of our greatgrandmother Julia):
Grandfather (James) Bright also owned a brick factory and a good many negroes. The brick that made the wall around the navy yard at Pensacola was made at his brick kiln. When I visited Pensacola some years ago Brother Lue took Cos. Pauline and her girls and me to the navy yard and I saw "Bright" printed in several bricks near the gate.
Another paper tells about a visit to Pensacola by 97-year-old James Oscar Leonard in 1960. (This was *Laura Leonard Crawford's father.) He was delighted to be in Pensacola and see Old Christ Church, .since all his life he had heard that it was built of Bright brick from the Bright Brick and Lumber Plant at Vallambrosa.
The curator of the Pensacola Historical Museum, Norman Simons, does not believe Bright bricks were used in the navy yard or in Old Christ Church. In a 1975 letter to E, W. Carswell (who had written about the Brights at Vallambrosa), he states:
The issue of brick arose from a statement that had been in print mentioning that the Brights made the brick for Old Christ Church. (The brick was said to have been purchased in 1829 or 1830,)
I could find no evidence that any Brights had resided here that early, nor did his name appear in the early list of manufacturers (manufacturer's census.) In addition, the research on the origin and manufacture of brick for all of the fortifications done by Dr. Ernest Dibble turned up nothing on Bright.
Compiler's note:	I don't know whether the Brights made brick or not, but the
James Brights lived at Vallambrosa, the Thomas Graves Brights in the Uchee Valley, and the Nicholas Mitchells at Mushy Bend as early as 1824, according to census records of the birth of children, and I'm sure they did their "trading" in Pensacola.
Another paper written by Emma Mitchell Colmant starts with ancestors of Elizabeth Lovick Bright in England:
Lord Edward Lovick owned a large estate in .., England, and he also owned a large interest in the London Bridge and after his death the bridge interest was sold and the money it brought was deposited in the Crown's Bank, My grandmother, Elizabeth Lovick Bright, received the rents and interest from the bank until her death, just after the
