Hi All, I have just put my Database up at WorldConnect and would love to have anymore additions or corrections, Please take a Look. http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=kb5eko John Bruces' Will In the name of God amen. I John Bruce of Surry County being sick and weak but of perfect and disposing memory do make and ordain this my Last Will and Testament in manner adn form following (Wiz't) ________. I give to my son James Bruce my Negro fellow Sam and likewise eight sheep which said Negro and sheep. With what I have already let him have is in full of his part of my estate. I give my Daughter Elizabeth the labour of my Negro Boy______ _______ her life and after her decease to her Daughter Elizabeth_________ ________ ________ said daughter Elizabeth seven pounds legal money of Virginia which is in full of her part of my Estate. I Give to my daughter Anne one half of my personal estate which is not mentioned in this will being in full of her part. I give to my daughter Sarah my Negro Ned with the remainder of my personal estate (escept my horse and saddle) which I give and bequeth to her son Jacob Bruce and I do appoint my said daughter Sarah Bruce and her son Jacob Bruce to be my sole Executors of this my Last Will and Testament. In witness I have hereunto put my hand and seal this the sixteenth day of August Anno Domini 1752 Jacob X Bruce Signed Sealed and Declared to be the Last Will and Testament of the said John Bruce in Presence of Thomas X Taylor David Brooke Arthur Smith It looks like Jacob George Bruce is the Grandson of John Bruce of Surry Co., VA whose will was probated in 1754. And His mother is Sarah (?Bruce). >From what I can tell Sarah's Husband could be James Bruce who died Intestate in the 1740's in Surry Co (Inventory 1747). If this is the Case it looks like we could have 2 Bruce lines to Contend with. It is hard to tell If Sarah is an actual Daughter or a Daughter in-law of John Bruce, but with Her and Jacob both being named Executors of his will and his only mentioned son not i'm inclined to believe that she is his Daughter Jerry E. Davis Jr.
