Is anybody researching the Bruces who were in Lincoln County in 1830? I think it is possible that my great-grandmother, Mahuldia Bruce, born in 1815, may have been born in Lincoln County, perhaps the daughter of a James Bruce. I have only circumstantial evidence, however, and nothing solid. She married a John Furgerson (Ferguson????) and I believe his parents may have also been in Lincoln County at the same time --perhaps the son of a John Ferguson. If anybody has information about the Bruces in Lincoln county from 1810-1850 I would very much appreciate hearing from you. My great-grandparents are first found in census information in the 1860 census records of Hopkins County, Ky. I have been unable to find them in 1850 in either Tennessee or Kentucky. Thank you.
