I have hit a brick wall with Alexander Bruce b. 1745/55. He is listed in the first tax list of Caswell Co NC in 1777. The last record we have of Alexander Bruce is in Deed Book R, Pg 287 Caswell Co NC John Stamps, Sheriff to Wm McCauley of Orange Co NC who lately recovered judgment against Richard Jones & ALEXANDER BRUCE due since 1801, 200 acres of Alexander Bruce sold adj. Thomas Windsor for 27LBS, 10 shillings, Dated 13 Jul 1812. Alexander Bruce married Anne? We have children of this pair: James Bruce, David and William. 1805 Alexander Bruce sells land to his son James Bruce, David Bruce as security, being part of a tract he gave to his son David Bruce and sold by him to his brother James Bruce adj. Orange Co Line. Wit: Samuel Cobb, Robert Bruce. We know that JAMES BRUCE (my gggggrandfather) was born 1783 in Caswell Co NC and married Margaret "Peggy" COBB, d/o Samuel Cobb, October 7, 1808...They have 7 children: Martha 1810/Nancy 1811/Elizabeth 1812/AZARIAH 1816, Minerva 1817, Zena W 1819/Rachel S 1825 and William J 1831. This family moved to Madison Co KY around 1815/16 as the children below Azariah was born in Madison Co KY. Azariah Bruce is my ggggrandfather. Have lots more and would love to share. Thanks, Shirley
