Haven't posted in awhile, so here's what I have. Hope to hear from a cousin soon. Teresa (Bruce) Covey Descendants of Thomas Bruce Generation No. 1 1. THOMAS1 BRUCE was born 1810 in Tennessee.

SEBURN FRANKLIN BRUCE, b. November 28, 1855, Tenn.; d. March 2, 1923, Gainesville, TX.. Generation No. 2 2. SEBURN FRANKLIN2 BRUCE (THOMAS1) was born November 28, 1855 in Tenn., and died March 2, 1923 in Gainesville, TX.. He married VIOLET ELIZABETH THOMAS in TX. Notes for SEBURN FRANKLIN BRUCE: With a death certificate that states his name as S.C. Bruce, and now his obituary, I am presuming that Seburn Franklin Bruce should be also known as S.C. Bruce. Info passed down thru the family states his name to be Seburn Franklin, but there is evidently erroneous info here. Obituary of S.C. Bruce: S.C. Bruce, 69, died at 11 o'clock this morning at his home two miles east of Gainesville after a lingering illness. He is survived by three grown sons, T.B. and G.H. of Cooke county and John M. of Childress. Also three brothers, J.M. and D.W. who reside near Gainesville and T.W. of Bomar, Okla. Funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock with Rev. J.H. Chism officiating. Burial will be made in the Nelson Grove cemetery with Undertaker S.W. Gibson in charge of the arrangements. Mr. Bruce was a well known truck and fruit grower, having resided in this county for some time and marketing his products here. A strange coincident is connected with his death. Exactly 21 years ago today at practically the same hour, Mr. Bruce's wife died, leaving several small children. He has been a widower since.
