Surnames: BRUCE, JONES IN LOUISIANA Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XOG.2ACIB/1329 Message Board Post: GILBERT BRUCE, b. 1855 in LA married ALICE JONES abt. 1880. In 1880 lived in FRANKLIN PARISH, LOUISIANA. Possible they had a son named WM. JEFFERSON BRUCE, b. abt. 1887 in LA. W. J. BRUCE first marriage was to BIRDIE BOX IN RICHLAND PARISH, LA., 2nd. marriage to Johanna (or similar). JEFF BRUCE & 2nd. wife had children named VIOLA, WOODROW AND IRMA BRUCE in the 1920 Richland Parish, LA census. I am trying to find out for sure if WM. J. BRUCE b. abt. 1887 in LA was the son of GILBERT BRUCE and ALICE JONES, if he was related to them or who his parents were.
