The youngest of the three brothers, Crawford, settled and farmed in Paint Twp, near the Ross/Highland border. His son, Allen, remained on the farm until his father died, then moved near Greenfield. We recently discovered a bio history of Samuel L. Caldwell (one of Allen's sons) in NE which listed the whereabouts of most of his family, including his paternal Aunt Nancy who married John Bruce in Highland Co. and died in the Spring of 1903, age 81. The Ross/Highland Co. History says this about John Bruce: "John Bruce remved to Paint Township from PikeCounty, in 1854, and now lives on a fine farm near the Crawford Mill. He married a daughter of Crawford Colwell and has by her four children: "Elizabeth, Eliza Jane (Evans), George W. and Mary M." Could you tell me if it might be possible that this JOHN BRUCE is the John mentioned in your list of James' Bruces children? Thank you for your help.
