He was 28 yrs old at time of enlistment. Stood 6'0", had red hair, grey eyes & was fair complected. His trade was that of "Painter". Daniel's brother was Thomas BRUCE married Mary Wheelbarger. They & their family lived a short distance from Daniel & Angeline at the time of the 1870 census. The census reads that Daniel & Thomas' parents were from VA...Some of the family lore says KY. As I understand it, the parents lived close to these 2 state borders. We have no proof, but we think that William Bruce of Chariton Co, MO is another brother. We would love to get some feedback on this family pertaining to Daniel & Thomas' parents. Diana
