I know he was married twice and had children by both wives. My grandmother, Freda Irene Bruce was one of four daughters he had by his second wife (Anna Mary McKnight). I don't remember his first wife's name. I have copies of patents he filed for and received for a steam powered threashing machine in the early 1900's. He never was able to get financing to set up any manufacturing process for the thing, though. I've often been curious where the middle name of "Wesley" came from. Many Methodist families named children "Wesley" in honor of the founder of the Methodist movement in England, John Wesley. But, a family by the name of Bruce ought to have been from Scotland and ought to have been Presbyterian. I know that my grandmother Irene Bruce's family was connected to the Church of Christ in Noble and Monroe Counties. Churches of Christ emerged from a movement begun by a Presbyterian named Campbell in the early 1800's. That doesn't explain the "Wesley" name, however. I'll certainly let you know of any information I might find about Stephen and Matilda. I live in Cleveland, Ohio and am able to drive to Noble and Monroe and Belmont counties fairly easily so I will be checking around down there. Kerry

I can't seem to find any record of them after 1850 census info, and have no idea who either of their parents or siblings were. The reason I know her maiden name was Paris was because it was listed on their daughter Catherine's death certificate, which was filled in by her husband so I'm assuming that's correct (he should know, shouldn't he?) Do you know anything about their children? By the way, Catherine and Peter named one of their sons James Wesley. I know from Newspaper abstracts that Stephen Bruce was still in Monroe County in at least 1863, because the paper lists Simon Bruce as sending (his father) Stephen Bruce $20 from wherever he was serving as a Civil War soldier. I also know that Catherine had a brother Thomas; their families lived next to each other for a couple of censuses. The 1850 census lists these three children (Catherine, Simon, and Thomas,) and--John! So now I know a little more about him. I would desperately like to find out about Stephen and Matilda's parents, though. I've seen some Bruce's and Paris's, but can't seem to connect them, especially since the pre-1850 censuses don't list family members, just heads-of-households. I will write your contact information on my Bruce folder and if I come across anything about them, I'll pass it on! Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Jenny

One of their daughters was Freda Irene (b.1898) who married Roy Dewey KING (b. 1898). Their only child was my deceased father. I didn't know until I saw your post that Matilda's birth name was PARIS.

There are 49 BRUCEs listed - many of them female. "My" Harriett, age 20, & some of her siblings (brothers: Handy & Samuel), as well as half-siblings, are on page 282 (according to Ancestry.com). --------------------------- I suspect that Harriett's father, Charles Perry BRUCE (Jr.), is the Charles who is listed on page 175. In fact, that is what I found years ago at the National Archives: SOUTH CAROLINA 1850 CENSUS, p. 20 BRUCE, Charles of Anderson Co., page 175, Western Dist. Charles Age 59 Born GA (c1791) Harriett Age 20 Born SC (c1830) Deaf & Dumb ---------------------------- Pages 315 & 321 (Ancestry.com) have quite a few BRUCEs. John, Thomas, & James are on page 178 (Ancestry.com). +++++++++++++++++ Another BRUCE researcher furnished me with the names of three brothers of "my" Charles Perry BRUCE (Jr.), who lived 1790 - 1874: 1. Robert (1783-1860) His body was buried in Franklin Co., GA. Married - Susannah SLOAN 4 sons: Charles, James Madison, Benjamin F., David Sloan 2. John married Laura FARRAR (No further data) 3.

There are at least two by the name of James listed in the 1850 Census of Anderson Co., SC. Harriett's half-brothers were: Everett (b. c1843) & Abraham. Both appear to be listed in the 1850 Census of Anderson Co., SC. Harriett & her sisters, Mary Anne & Caroline, are said to have been deaf mutes. All three of them married. Harriett to another deaf mute, Josephus Berry EDWARDS, who was one of the first teachers at the Georgia School for the Deaf in Cave Spring, Floyd Co., GA. ================= The following counties had BRUCEs listed in the 1850 Census: Anderson Edgefield Greenville - Willis BRUCE Lancaster Laurens Orangeburg Richland ++++++++++++++++++ Re: BRUCEs of Greenville District, SC Here are some excerpts taken from "BRUCE, Historical Papers #2," edited by Michael V. Stambach- Bruce, ORB, The Bruce Family Historical Society, The Royal Bruce Society, 1991, Pp. 37-38: "Benjamin BRUCE arrived in Greenville District some time prior to 1800. He may be the only early Greenville Co. BRUCE of whose origins we have sure knowledge. "In the past Benjamin has been identified as a son of Charles BRUCE, Sr. This appears to have been in error. Benjamin is not in association with the family of Charles BRUCE. "Benjamin BRUCE married Mary EDWARDS, daughter of John EDWARDS, at Fauquier Co., VA on 25 Dec. 1787. John EDWARDS was bondsman. The will of John EDWARDS was proven on 16 March 1801 in Greenville Co., SC." * * * "It is thought that Benjamin BRUCE may be the same who is found in the Tax Lists (Heads of Families) of Fluvanna Co., VA in 1782. * * * "In 1793 Benjamin BRUCE bought 300 acres along the Enoree River from Gibson Southern (Deed Bk. C, p. 450). In 1821 (recorded 1821) Benjamin BRUCE sold 300 acres along the Enoree River in Greenville Co. to Aaron Kemp (Deed Bk. L, p. 256). * * * "Very little is known of Benjamin BRUCE. It appears that he left the area at an early date, perhaps following his sale in 1821 of the land at Enoree River to Aaron Kemp. It seems likely that Benjamin was among the early SC migrants who moved west as native Americans were continually forced further from their homelands." --=+=--=+=--=+=--=+=-- J. D.
