Sorry for the slow response. I thought maybe the research I was doing on Bruces in
Dearborn county would give me some information on John but it has not. I see trees say he
was born there. John and Jacob were definitely not brothers. Jacob, son of Henry son of
James had one brother James who died young and one sister Rachel Bruce Swango Cheek Weber,
who also came to Greene county. I see one tree on Ancestry World Tree that says John was
the son of Charles and Catherine Walters Bruce. I don`t have any information one way or
the other. The Bruces, Swangos and Walters intermarried in Dearborn, Gallatin county
Kentucky and Virginia before that. The Walters connection, if this is true, might be one
you might look into as I believe Jacob`s mother might have been a Walters.
Three Bruces, James Henry and Amor, came to Dearborn county about 1798. All of Amors
children are accounted for, missing a couple of James and don`t really know much about
Henry`s children. If I come across anything about John Ill let you know.
