I am looking for information on the ancestors of: John Bruce: b. March 22, 1756 in Edinburgh, Scotland (possibly Midlothian), d. March 22, 1831 in the district of Orangeburg Co, SC. m. 1788 in Branchville, Orangeburg Co. District, South Carolina to Catherine "Kitty" Rhodes/Rhudes/Roads, Born between 1774 and 1785. Died between 1800 and 1850. Children: Elijah Bruce, b. October 24, 1797 Jane Barbara Bruce, b. August 25, 1799 References: LDS Film # 1985631 -- the patron who submitted the data is/was a practicing Mormon and undoubtedly related to this individual. Unfortunately, the film notes say that there is no further information available, nor is the submitters' name/address available. Further information: This John Bruce may have -- and this is the most tenuous of connections based on speculation only -- been a graduate of Oxford. I found one John Bruce from Midlothian, Scotland, listed as a graduate of a class in the appropriate period, but have no proof that this is the same person. Any information on Catherine "Kitty" Rhodes would also be useful. Any and all information is greatly appreciated! R. Bruce -- First they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me. -- Paraphrased from Martin Niemöller's 1968 statement before the U.S. Congress
