Hi everyone, I braved the horrible midwestern winter weather today and returned to Iowa City. Here's what I found out about the book that is about Thomas Bruce. It is titled THOMAS BRUCE OF SUDBURY AND MARLBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS. By Winifred Fahey Pelley, Lindsley Reese Bailey, Winsor Bruce, Laura Lindquist Fahey, Miriam Fahey Rudd and Catherine Rose Fahey. It is acually an enlarged version of an work originally published in The New England Historical & Genealogical Register Vol CXXXVI, Oct. 1982, pgs 294-306. The booklet has three sections. The first is a narritive history of Thomas Bruce. It has alot of details of his land, deeds and will. It is very well documented with lots of sources listed. This section is 13 pages long and does list LDS reference numbers. I was able to get photocopies of this section for anyone who is interested. The second section is family pages and the third section is ancestery charts for those listed in the book. The library would not copy these second and third sections due to possible copywrite laws. But I did copy them by hand. (I got a blister from writing them all). I will, over the next week or so put them into my computer and they will be available by an email attachment for anyone who wants them or I will print them and send them by mail. I noted in the charts that several of the descendents ended up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. If these branches haven't been documented by court house records and anyone wants them, I would be happy to get those as Cedar Rapids is where I live. The family page for Thomas and Magdelen included 4 sons, Thomas abt 1665, John abt 1667, Roger abt 1670 and David abt 1675. Of these 4 there are charts for John, Roger and David. Of the anscestor charts several go back to the early 1600's and at least one that dates back to one generation prior to a child born in 1597, Holland. These are of course on the lines that married into the Bruce line. If anyone has specific questions, let me know and I'll look them up for you. And I'll get the charts done as soon as possible (right after I finish my term paper). :-) Sheri
