Has anyone connected the John Allen Bruce from Lincoln County, N.C. who moved to Hopkins County, Ky with other Bruces who were in Hopkins County at that time? There were several children of an Abner Bruce - b. 1784 in N.C. who married a Martha (Patsey) Parrish. I believe his father was a Jeremiah Bruce and Milley Dunning. Places of residence, according to information I have been given, were Hartford and Bertie Co., N.C. Children's names were Jeremiah, Mary B., Abner, Jr., Martha, Mildred and Cader. Land grants were issued to Bruces by the name of Jeremiah, Sarah, Abner, and Cader -- presumably this same bunch of Bruces. Also to an Allen Bruce. As I have mentioned before, my gr-grandmother was Mahuldia Bruce and she married John Furgerson. They moved from Tennessee to Hopkins County in the early 1840's and I have been trying to identify her with other Bruces who were in the area. Someone told me that all of the Bruces who lived in Hopkins County were related. I also have information on an Allen Bruce who married a Pernecia Price who I have not been able to connect with anybody. I have more information about this Allen Bruce (died 1859, married Pernecia Price December 30, 1841 in Hopkins County, Ky) if anyone is interested. Joyce
