How much work have you done on the New England Bruces? I have been looking for an "Isobel Bruce" b. 1810-1813, I think somewhere in New England. She marries Joseph Wickens--unknown location and date as well. I did manage to find Joseph Wickens in England with his family, so that fact is known. But Joseph and Isobel had 6 children and my direct ancestor, Charlotte Bruce Wickens, was their first child born in Barrington, Nova Scotia area where they are buried. She had 4 older siblings-- birth locations are unknown as well. I don't believe she is part of George's line but possibly through John/Thomas Bruce's line. At this point in time I have not "followed most of my lines to Scotland/British Isle" yet, as I have enough to work on here stateside. George Bruce's line ends up married to my Richardson line (out of Woburn, MA) as well. Both these early Bruce lines do end up linked by marriage.

He was born in Scotland about 1634, arrived in Plymouth Massachusetts and married Elizabeth Clark. I would like to find out what Bruces was he related to. I can't find anything on where he came from or who he was descended from. He is my 8th great grandfather and would love to find more info on him.Thank You, Debbie
