Adam Bruner, a Maryland-born soldier of the Revolution, married Elizabeth Rice at Louisville in 1785 and took his family down the Ohio to the wilderness of Breckenridge County, Kentucky. In 1825 they crossed into southern Indiana. Adam and Elizabeth died in the 1840s near Rio, Illinois, where a granite monument with a cannon on top was raised to Adam and his brother Peter in 1915. Their son Hickman's family went on, after 1850, through Illinois to Mercer County, Missouri, where Eli Woodruff Bruner kept a forge beside his father's wagon shop and captained the township's militia company in 1861. Eli married Mary Elizabeth "Polly" Collins in Appanoose County, Iowa, in 1850; he died at Colorado City in 1879, and she at Siloam Springs, Arkansas, in 1887. Their daughter Mariah Emma married John Marshall Clifford, and her daughter Jessie married into the Holbrooks.

The line at a glance

Adam Peter Bruner Sr. (1763 - 1846) = Elizabeth Rice > Henry Hickman Bruner (c. 1806 - 1874?) = Sarah Ann Bridges > Eli Woodruff Bruner (1827 - 1879) = Mary Elizabeth Collins > Mariah Emma Bruner (1853 - 1933) = John Marshall Clifford > Jessie Lorene Clifford

The weakest links

  • Adam Peter Bruner > Hickman (possible): stated in the Bruner research without a source. Adam's own life is told in the 1917 list of Illinois Revolutionary burials and a family account of 1977, which name only his son Michael; Hickman, in his household in 1810, married in Lawrence County, Indiana, in 1824, where Adam's family had gone.
  • Hickman > Eli (probable): the censuses (1840, 1850, 1860) and the family's naming fit; no record states it.

Where the line ends

It stops at Adam Peter Bruner Sr., the earliest name in the research.

Open questions

  • A record naming Hickman as a son of Adam Bruner.
  • Where Hickman and Sarah died: Tennessee or Arkansas.
  • Eli's Masonic lodge, and why he went to Colorado.
