I have an Isabella Bruce (b.1810-1813) who married a Joseph Wickens in the early1800s. No idea where they married, but know that they ended up in Barrington, Nova Scotia area as Mr. Wickens was a noted schoolmaster. Their first child was born in 1826. My direct ancestor, Charlotte Bruce Wickens (b.1840), came to the USA just before (about 1860) the Am. Civil War and marries George Henry Howard in the Boston, MA area, prior to active duty. I'm attempting to locate/names of Isabella's parents. I believe, through some personal papers I have in my possession, that Isabella may be related to Artemus Bruce(b.1728-d.1811) who removed to Vermont in 1776. I'm specifically interested in any research that has been done on this Artemus Bruce line in Vermont (children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren) for confirmation of my theory. I have traced most of the Bruce families in ME, NH, MA and some in VT. Also have been to Nova Scotia's National Archives and have concluded that my Isabella was not born Nova Scotia. Other Wickens relatives in Nova Scotia came to the same conclusion. So any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Vicky Thomas
