If you know who these BRUCEs are, please contact Charles BRUCE, email address below. --------------------------------------------------------- o I have had since 1983 a King James Version, Giant Print, Holy Bible that was handed to me by a realty agent who found it in a vacant house he had for sale in Austell, Georgia. He could not find the owners and since my name was BRUCE he asked me to take the Bible and try to locate the owners. The first page states that the Bible was presented to Valerie Lynn BRUCE by her husband, Robert Lee BRUCE, Jr., a late Christmas gift on 25 December 1981. Both their parents and their children's genealogy is reflected in the Bible. I did not know and was never able to find the family and for the past years the Bible has been stored on a shelf in my library. I would be most happy to pass this Bible on to the proper family upon proper identification. Charles Bruce [email protected]

These six Bruce ladies may be daughters of Smith Lee Bruce and Adeline Perry Bruce of Sumner County, Tennessee, born between 1880 and 1892. My only knowledge of them comes from their signatures on deeds selling property they had inherited. Here's what I know about them. Bessie BRUCE was in Colgate, Indian Territory, Central District, Oklahoma, on 5 July 1909. She may be the widow of a Bruce rather than a daughter. Cenia BRUCE DeLAY, wife of Edward DeLAY, was in Douglas Co., Wisconsin, in 1904 and in Hepeni, Douglas Co., WI, in 1925. Cleva BRUCE was in Douglas Co., WI, in 1906, and by 1925 she had married H. C. HICKS and was living in El Reno, OK. Lillie BRUCE was in Cole Co., OK, in 1909. Sallie BRUCE was in Adair Co., MO, in 1907. By 1925 she had married H. E. VALENTINE and was in Montgomery Co., Kansas. Willie BRUCE was in Adair Co., MO in 1907. This extended Bruce family descends from John Bruce and Mary Smith who migrated from Culpeper Co., VA, to Wilkes Co., NC, to Sumner Co., TN.

Robert I, 'The Bruce' of Scotland, b. 1274; d. 1329; m. Isabel c1295. Their daughter, Princess Marjory, m. Walter STEWART. Would like to exchange info.

Hi to everyone on the list, I have been researching my BRUCEWATER ancestors for a number of years and have been unable to find any other family besides my direct line anywhere in the world. It has been suggested to me that the name is probably BRUCE-WATER. Anyway this is all I know and I hope someone on the list can help me. Nathaniel BRUCEWATER [also known as James] occupation Sailor, first appears in Whitby, Yorkshire England in 1770 with wife Ann, son William aged 3, no record of a marraige in Whitby or Williams birth, then the birth of Marshall b. 1770 in Whitby. The family stayed there until Marshall married Hannah Scorfield in 1790 in Whitby and had a son Marshall b. 1794. Marshall no.2 then moved to Durham, then on to Leeds and then to London. His son James Marshall Bruce-Water moved to Australia and he is my gg grandfather. Has anyone heard of this name or of any BRUCE and WATER marraiges pre 1750. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am at my wits end with this lot. They may have come from Scotland as their accent must have been very thick as the variants of this surname just in my direct line begin like this. BRUISEWATER, BREWSWATER, BRUESWHATER, BRUCEWHATTER, BRUCEWHARTER, BRUCEWHARTEN, and there are a few more, so I presume that their accent wasn't English. Kind regards Jennifer in Australia.

I am interested in hearing from anyone who might have info on Alice Moore Bruce, d. 1951, and her ancestors Caroline Fox & William Napier cir 1815. Gord Hulbert 11 Sierra Morena Gardens S.W. Calgary, AB, T3H 3P4 (403)240-4636 [email protected]

Hello Everyone, I am sorry about having to post to the list on this again so soon but I had it pointed out to me, ( by a very kind person), that I had left out some rather important information that just might aid you in helping me. So here I go again. I am looking for any and all information about my grand mother Elllen BRUCE. I think she was born in Clinton, Mass. but not sure of that. I don't know when she was born. She married my grand father on 12/11/1898 in Roxbury, Vt. My grand father's name is Frank A CLOUGH, he was born in Vermont in 1871 and died in NH in 1953. Well there you have it, I sure hope that someone out there can help me. Thanks, Vernon G Clough

Hello, I am new to this list but would like to post a question to it now. I would like to get any and all information on my grand mother ELLEN BRUCE. She was married to Frank CLOUGH. I am not sure of the date, and don't know anything about her. Is there anyone out there that can help me out? Thank you, Vernon G Clough

Is anyone researching William Bruce and Elizabeth Buchannon who married in Sumner Co., TN on 6 Nov 1832? I'm not sure exactly who his father was, but do know that the family came to TN from Culpeper Co., VA, by way of Wilkes Co., NC. They moved on to IL. Would like to correspond with anyone researching this couple. Joyce
