Research Notes
Based upon information given to me from a Bruce family researcher. I was told that Richard lived in state of California, then returned to MO with his two sons, Robert and Thomas, his wife having died. Later he and his two sons moved to Arkansas where he died. Using that I have pieced together a time line for Richard's life. Mistakes may have been made. ~~ Mae Newton Bruce, Jan. 10, 2024 ~~
