NEWSPAPER: Southern Argus., (Columbus, Miss.) 1834-1842, July 26, 1842:
I only to take you to the southern entrance into our town, and point to
you that noble structure, which I have erected and presented to the citizens
of Lowndes and which has been called after me, the Blewett bridge; - Thomas G Blewett

Southern Argus. (Columbus, Miss.) 1834-1842, January 22, 1839 :
provisions of an act, for the benefit ' of T. G. Blewett, and to authorize ' Ira N. Nash to
keep a toll bridge" across the Luxapalilah, were also introduced and read for the first time

The Columbus Democrat reported on December 18, 1847
"Most of the bridges in the county have either been swept away or considerably injured. The Columbus Bridge is shattered a little at the west end, but the damage can be easily repaired. The bridge east of the town over the Luxapalila has been swept off. We learn it has floated down the stream and lodged against Maj. Blewett's bridge, which has been in danger, if that too has not been carried off.
