Hi Annette, Unfortunately, there are no listings for BRUCE in the Bedford County Cemetery book. I did find the following listing: Bedford County Tennessee Wills & Vital Records form Newspapers Compiled by Helen c. & Timothy R. Marsh Published by Southern Historical Press, 1996 page 268 Old Time Officials Here ...The First Lawyer to locate here permanently was named Bruce. Bruce who died in the 26th year of the last century <1826>... - The Shelbyville Gazette, Apr 8, 1909 If anyone else on the list can help, please copy Annette directly as she is not subscribed to the list. Thanks, Kathryn <snip> I am back to a John Bruce born in Virginia, ( I think) in 1740 or 1741 and died March 8, 1822 in Bedford County Tennessee. He was married to a Mary Smith. <snip> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Sports - Coverage of the 2002 Olympic Games http://sports.yahoo.com
