So glad to meet you Smiling and happy!
Sorry this took so long, been so busy during the holidays and I did want to speak to my mom before replying to you.
I have talked with my mother some on this, she hadnt been too well lately and I didn't want to upset her thinking about all those who have already passed, you know.
but she did say that she did remember a Bruce, my Grandpa Orley had mentioned him , she was not sure if he was a brother or uncle or cousin of his though.Just remembered
hearing the name.
And another thing, there may have been another child born to
Sidney and Martha that passed early as a teen, by being
thrown from a horse, named Earnest my Mom thinks.
ALso another tidbit I will email you about concerning
the underground freedom railroad.
