Early Newfane, Vermont Settler
Artemus/Artemas Bruce was the son of Abijah and Mary (Woods) Bruce and grandson of Roger and Elizabeth (Forbush) Bruce and Isaac and Mary (Maynard) Woods. His Bruce lineage is Artemus-4, Abijah-3, Roger-2, Thomas-1 Bruce. It is possible that Thomas-1 is a typical English Puritan immigrant. It has also been suggested that he was a Scottish prisoner-of-war that was sent to America by Cromwell to purge Scotland of dissidents.
Artemus/Artemas married Mary Latiny on 20 May 1756. They had nine children: Asa, Elijah, Ephraim, Lavina, Preserved, Abigail, Mary Polly, Mary, and Mansfield.
