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.
