Posted on: Caroline Co. Va Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Caroline?read=1672 Surname: Gravatt, Bruce ------------------------- Sparta is the town in Caroline County. It is about 5-7 miles Southeast of Bowling Green, the main town of Caroline county. I noticed you are searching the Gravatt family. My 4 great grandfather William H Bruce married 2nd, Harriet Gravatt, daughter of Ellis Gravatt. They lived in Sparta from about 1820's - 1830's as well as in Fredericksburg. They had a son Charles Gravatt Bruce, who coincendentally removed close to Springfield, Missouri in the 1850s. He was a coachmaker like his father in Missouri and died in 1901. Would like to hear from you.
