Attempting to locate information on Mannon/Manning Bruce, born about 1810, in Tennessee. He bought land in Morgan Co. Illinois in 1837 Married Mrs. Jane Phenix Campbell in 1838 in Morgan Co. Illinois On 1840 Scott Co. Illinois census as M. A. Burce On 1850 census, Mason Co. Illinois as Manning Bruce On 1860 census, Logan Co. Illinois as M. A. Bruce On 1870 census, Logan Co. Illinois as Manning Bruce On 1880 census, Sangamon Co. Illinois as Manning Bruce Have not found him in 1900, believe he probably died prior to that date. He raised three Campbell kids and 5 daughters of his own Mariah J. Campbell married George W. Doolittle Ellen Eliza Bruce married John Pletz Do not have anything positive on marriages of the other kids. Would appreciate any information on Mannon Bruce, his kids, parents or siblings. This is a "high" brick wall.. I do believe he is the brother of my great great grandmother, Luvicy/Lavicy Bruce who married Obediah Nix. There father may have been an A. Bruce and mother may have been a M. Adair - would like any information. -- Christine Haw http://home.swbell.net/etolach
