Bruce 1890-1939 (your Jesse might be the brother of James Moses,b.

Mary Elizabeth Garner perhaps cousin or niece of Belle, also my James named 2 of his sons James.) Maude Adcock d.1911 married to John William Poteete Sara Thedford m. 1-8-1845 to William Adcock I believe these families have ties to Dickson, Hickman and Williamson Counties. Let me know if you have any info and will gladly share what i have. Many of the Bruces named in this e-mail, are buried behind the former home of Hattie Simmons and James Helton "Son" Bruce. The house is now occupied by one of their daughters. Hattie is still living and so is her brother-in-law, Filmore " Mutt" Bruce. This cemetery is online on the Williamson County Web Site. You can also access the Crafton cementery there. The Crafton's are somehow related. Teresa Beech Descendants of James Moses Bruce Generation No. 1 1. JAMES MOSES1 BRUCE was b. Jan 29, 1892, d.
