I wish I had more information than I do, but I'm just getting started on this line. I have a birthdate of 30 Oct 1838 for my George W. Bruce, his marriage to Sarah McLane, and birth of their daughter Mary Ann in Baxter County, Ark., in 17 June 1870. Baxter is north central arkansas on the Missouri border. The name and the birth date match. What is also interesting is that Mary Ann's has a granddaughter named Belle. I still have a lot of homework myself to do on this line but hope that we do have a link on this line! Linda
