The Loyalist Gazette, March 22nd, 2003
John Bruce was an Anglican clergyman who conducted schools in Norfolk and Princess Anne Counties, Virginia in the 1770s and 1780s. During the American Revolution he took the British side of the question and joined their army in 1781. Although an obscure figure, he was distinguished from his clerical associates in that he was one of only two Virginia clergymen whom the authorities indicted for treason. The purpose of this essay is to identify Bruce, to note his teaching career in Virginia, and to review his Loyalist experiences. (1)
