Speaking of geography, I am looking for the descendants of John Wesley Bruce (abt 1810-21 Jul 1883) and his son John A. Bruce (28 Jul 1848-5 Oct 1893). John Wesley Bruce was the son of David A. Bruce (son of James Bruce, Sr. and Lucratia Gaines) and Lucy Ann Bruce (daughter of William Bruce and Mary _?_). Both left estates in Sumner Co. TN that involved the sale of real estate, and through several deeds I've traced their descendants to several locations and even discovered some descendants I didn't know previously: John Luther Bruce, son of Smith Lee Bruce and Harriett _?_ , was born about 1869, and on 12 Sep 1901 an item in the Coalgate (OK) Courier reported that he and his wife attended a wedding there. On 16 May 1902 his signature on a deed was notarized in Indian Territory, Central District. In July 1904, his signature was notarized in Otoka Co., Central District, Indian Territory. Adeline Perry Bruce, widow of Smith Lee Bruce, was in Adair Co., MO on 2 May 1903 and again on 9 Feb 1904. Along with Adeline on that same 1904 date, Sallie Bruce and Willie Bruce had their signatures witnessed. These may be children born to Adeline and Smith Lee Bruce between 1880 and 1892 when he died. Cenia Bruce DeLay and her husband Edward DeLay were in Douglass Co., Wisconsin on 16 Feb 1904. Cenia may be another daughter. Cleva Bruce was in Douglass Co., Wisconsin on 1 July 1906 when she acknowledged the deed. Another daughter? By 1925, Cleva had married and moved to El Reno, Canadian Co. Oklahoma, with her husband H. C. Hicks. Lillie Bruce signed the deed on 19 Nov 1909 in Cole Co., OK. Bessie Bruce signed on 5 Jul 1909 at Colgate, Indian Territory, Central District. James R. Perry, son of William R. Perry and Harriett Bruce, was also in Cole/Coal County, Central District, Indian Territory, etc., on these dates and was the notary public who witnessed Lillie and Bessie Bruce's signatures. Mary Bruce Everett/Averett and her husband George W. Averett were in Tullahoma, Coffee Co., TN in 1904. By 1925, Mary had moved to Oklahoma near her brother John Luther Bruce. A question about these dates: The signatures of Sallie, Willie, Cenia, Cleva, Lillie, and Bessie seem to be unrelated to the date the deeds were drawn. Might these dates reflect their reaching the age of 21? I would very much like to hear from anyone researching this line. Joyce
