BRUCE, ANDREW ALEXANDER (Apr. 15, 1866-Dec. 6, 1934), professor of law, jurist, author, was born in Nunda Drug, Madras Presidency, India, the son of Edward Bruce and Anne Young (McMaster) Bruce. He is said to have been descended from Robert the Bruce, king of Scotland. According to custom, he was sent home to England for his schooling and attended Holmesdale House, Sussex, 1874-79, and Bath College, Bath, 1879-81. In 1881 his father died, and the boy was to have joined one of his uncles, living abroad ; but by some one's misunderstanding he found himself, deserted and alone, at the age of fifteen, on a steamer bound for the United States. Landed in New York, an orphan and a penniless immigrant, he began a career that was a remarkable example of character conquering circumstance. Seeking fortune in the West, he reached Minnesota, where he worked as a farm hand while attending high school and preparing for college. He was graduated both in arts and in law at the University of Wisconsin (A.B., 1890, LL.B., 1892), with a Phi Beta Kappa and football record. Following his graduation he was successively secretary to the justices of the Wisconsin supreme court (1892-94) ; chief clerk of the law department of the Wisconsin Central Railway Company in Chicago (1892) ; and attorney to the Illinois State Board of Factory In-  		Brice, Andrew Alexander (I1016)

Early Life
The date of birth of Thomas Eustace is unknown, but given his son Giles was born around 1445, Thomas was probably born around 1415 or so. His parents are unknown.

Family Life
Thomas' wife of is not known, but he had at least two children:
  1. William
  2. Giles, b. around 1445 and who married Joan ____


Death
According to British History Online (see pedigree in Appendix V) Thomas Eustace died "25 Henry VI, 1446-7", in other words some time between 1 September 1446 and 31 August 1447.
 		Eustace, Thomas (I3054)
 
17 "Daughter and co-heir of Thomas Barley and Isabel, his wife, daughter and heir of John Fitzwilliam of Woodhall, by Catherine, daughter of Robert Harengel, who was son of Roger Fitzwilliam by Matilda, daughter of Sir John Bosvile."

Now go and figure that out.  		Barley, Mary (I3019)
 
18 "died of a flux, on his arrival at Bengal" Adair, Alexander (I1866)

21 "who was son of John, and grandson of Hugh Twysell" (Transactions)

This guy? https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/84e01cb7-cf38-4cab-b11a-77a9c43f76f6
Says he married Joan Eylowe, daughter of Robert Eylowe.

Also this guy? https://www.british-history.ac.uk/letters-papers-hen8/vol15/pp150-181 (search for twysell): Stanley Regis = King's Stanley

https://books.google.ae/books?id=mXrNZkP1M6oC&pg=PA323&lpg=PA323&dq=%22john+twysell%22+king%27s+stanley&source=bl&ots=0vB3ZODu_2&sig=ACfU3U3KnmM4VwdNQne-PvkYsu6NJQlWOA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiG0cCP_eTzAhWaD2MBHf-uA_oQ6AF6BAgYEAM#v=onepage&q=%22john%20twysell%22%20king's%20stanley&f=false
suggests one John Twysell was co-eval with Robert Eylowe, perhaps this is John the grandfather of Elizabeth Twysell?

Succession from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Twysell-1:
Hugh Twysell (d. 1381)-> John Twysell (d. 1454) -> John (d. 1471) -> Elizabeth m. William Selwyn (she must have been born bef. 1471 if this is right) 		Twysell, John (of King's Stanley) (I2078)
 
22 'died Friday after Feast of the Assumption, 20th Henry VI, 1441.'

Though actually 20 Henry VI spans from September 1441 to August 1442, so it must have been 1442, not 1441, given that the Feast of the Assumption is in August. 		Bosvile, John (of Newhall) (I3018)
 
23 'of Appledore' (per marriage details). Butcher, Anne (I3540)
