Can someone please help me sort out some facts about Benjamin F. Bruce (b. abt 1825 ) ? He was married to Tabitha W. Stephens in 1845. I have been advised that Tabitha married William Gray in 1848 and had several children with William.I did not find this marriage to William on the IL Statewide Marriages. That was a pretty quick death for Benjamin and remarriage for Tabitha but then things happened pretty fast in those days. What I would like to know is, when did Benjamin F. Bruce die? Waiting with bated breath :) !! Carol Dugger
