A note of yours, I saved:
Cathy,
I know something about this Bruce family. My mother was a Bruce and I, in 1992, compiled a short (100+ page) spiral-bound soft back book about these Bruces. Sorry, I have no more copies, but I will help you any way I can.
Walter Homer Bruce (b.1900) was the youngest son of Joseph Thomas Bruce(b. 14 Sep 1842 in Montgomery Co., AL--died 26 Apr 1919 in Pike Co., AL). He married first to Malisa J. Furlow about 1863 and they had one son, Lonnie Bruce. Walter Homer Bruce married second Sarah Ann "Sallie" Wilson, daughter of Benjamin Wilson. They had five children (I have their names, if you want).
Joseph Thomas Bruce (b 1842)was the son of Sion Jones Bruce (b. ca.1812, probably in Jones Co., GA--died Nov 1849 in Pike Co., AL). He married 12 Oct 1831 in Montgomery Co., AL to Dicey Merritt and they had eight(8) children (I have their names).
Sion Jones Bruce (b. ca.1812) was the son of Alsey Bruce (born before 1784 in Halifax County, North Carolina--died about 1839 in Pike Co., AL). He married Lucretia "Tresey" (----?----). She died after 1840 in Pike Co., AL. They had at least four children....Sion Jones Bruce, William R. Bruce, Andrew J. Bruce, and Mary Bruce. I am decended from William R. Bruce.
Alsey Bruce (b. before 1784) was the son of William Bruce who resided in Halifax Co., NC, before his death about 1795. He married Christian Wheeless daughter of Joseph Wheeless, Jr. and Molley (----?----).
