I went through the 1900 District 2 Sumner Co. TN Census and found it! There is also a Bruce I will go back and look up. Thomas and Sallie were near the bottom of the page. The ink was smeared and the writing sloppy. It must be from 30 years of teaching, but I deciphered it! 23 Jun 1900 Federal Census Tennessee, Sumner Co., District 2 95. 245/245 Barnes, Thomas Nov 1859 40 m 16 TN TN TN Merchant 96. Sallie Sep 1859 40 m 16 TN TN TN 2ch born/2livg 97. Clara Mch 1886 14 s TN TN TN at school 98.

Bruce born around 1854. I don't know where he settled. I would assume the Castalian Springs or Cairo area since this is where his mother and siblings were found. I don't have a wife's name not even sure there was one. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Sorry my info is so sketchy on this one. Again, thank you for all that hard work you do on these. It is much appreciated! God Bless!
