Researchparents: Benjamin and Philadelphia (Wheeler); Some descendants of George Bruce of Woburn, Mass
BiographyAccording to H. P. Smith in his History of Essex County, NY., Jonah Bruce had fourteen children. We have been unable to positively identify several children.
Sally (Houghton) Bmce's father, Seth Houghton, died at Baltimore, Vt. on 4 May 1815. His son Lemuel was appointed administrator of his estate. His wife was Sally. (Seth Houghton and Sally Wheeler were manied at Fitchburg, Mass. in 1781.) Eleven of Seth's children, nine sons and two daughters, were heirs of his estate. His daughters were Sally Bmce and Rebecca Bmce. Rebecca manied, ca. 1814 or earlier, Joseph Bruce, a younger brother of Jonah Bruce. Jonah Bruce's parents, Benjamin and Philadelphia, relocated from Baltimore, Vt. to Jay, N.Y. soon after selling their land in Baltimore on 15 Aug. 1804. Jonah knew Sally while both were living at Baltimore. They may have been manied there. All of their children were bom at Jay, Essex County, N.Y. Jonah probably relocated to Jay along with his parents, late in 1804. Jonah served in the War of 1812 from 2 to 14 Sep. 1814, seeing action at the battle of Plattsburg on 11 Sep. 1814. He was a private in the Company of Capt. Lewis Torrence.
