    3. John Bruce, b. c 1791 in Fermanagh (or Cavan), Ireland m. in Ireland c 1822 to Mary Johnston, b. c 1803 in Fermanagh. There is some evidence to indicate that they immigrated to Canada from Terrycherry (now known as Tullycherry) on June 12, 1840 with their seven children, Thomas, b. c 1819; Robert, b. May 24, 1827; Margaret, b. June 1, 1832; Johnston, b. c 1833; Andrew, b. May 10, 1834; John, b. c 1837; and Jane, b. Oct. 14, 1838. They settled in Cavan, Durham Cty., and John died shortly after arriving. After some years Mary and her family moved to the Devitts Settlement in Cartwright Twp. On her death, she was buried beside her husband in Cavan. No headstones or records can be found. Many of their descendants are buried in the Devitts Cemetery, near Blackstock, Cartwright Twp., Durham Cty. John and Mary were my gggrandparents. I would appreciate connecting with anyone researching this line. Ron Dobson
