Biography

I am the son of Private Mixon^[1] and Melanie Mixon^[2].

My first name is inspired by both musician Bruce Springsteen and Bruce Wayne (Batman).

Bruce Wayne was named after the famous Scottish king and my ancestor Robert the Bruce (1274-1329) ^[3], which makes me only two degrees from Robert the Bruce and able to trace my name eight degrees back to Robert de Brus (1078-1142).

Significant Ancestors

Mayflower

With my mother's family hailing from Massachusetts, I am possibly descended from 22 Mayflower passengers, listed on the side. My closest relative on the Mayflower is Joseph Rogers, my 10th Great-grandfather and a direct patrilineal ancestor of my mother. I used to believe I was descended from 27 Mayflower passengers through my "2nd great grandfather" Percy Stevens, but his "daughter", my great grandmother Virginia (Stevens) Rogers was DNA proven to not be his daughter. The 5 additional Mayflower ancestors that I am not descended from that I am not genetically descended from but totally am descended from are Myles Standish, Francis Cooke, and Mary Winslow and her parents James Chilton and Unknown (Unknown) Chilton.

Advance Directive

Upon my death, I give permission for all my deceased profiles to be set to open and orphaned. Any living profiles should be transferred to Melanie Mixon.
