Hello, Sheri, >>While doing my research at the Iowa State Historical Library I recently came across a book with the history and documented genealogy of this Thomas Bruce. With son Roger etc. << I, too, am a descendant of Thomas and Magdalen Bruce, through son, Roger. I would be extremely interested to know the title of the book you mentioned, since my information states that absolutely nothing is known of the origin or ancestry of our Thomas! (New England HIstoric Genealogical Register, Vol.CXXXVI, October, 1982, pp.294-306, "Thomas Bruce of Sudbury and Marlborough, Massachusetts".) Claudia Cridland
