Did any of them go to South Carolina? Our "first" James Bruce was born about 1735, and died in 1819, South Carolina. Some researchers guess he was born in Scotland, I've also heard Virginia, and one sources says that the Carolina Bruces came from Ireland in 1716. Still researching the Oglethorpe's Regiment James Bruce to see if he fits in. All comments/suggestions are welcomed. Thanks! Judy
