Roll Call! My Bruces are 3 siblings who emigrated between about 1760-1800 from Edinburgh, children of Charles Bruce and Helen Cleland. Here's what I have, and I also have a book by Nancy Ellis titled Normand, Andrew and Selkirk Bruce of Maryland. I list the Bruces below, but I am also researching female lines, so if you recognize a name, let me know. I'm happy to do lookups if you are mainly MD and think you might be related.
