Hi, Bea, and happy holidays. I hadn't even thought to look to KY for my other Bruce family. I've just believed that it was a part of the Bruce family that included William, James and Robert and came through NC. But my Gordon, Montgomery, and Watkins families all came from VA through KY, so why couldn't the Bruces have done so? Would you mind sharing any responses you get to this query? Joyce
