Becky, I am also descended from William Bruce and Mary from Culpeper Co., VA and Sumner Co. TN. I have a wonderful lawsuit brought against the heirs of William by Jane Duff Bruce, widow of his son Littleton that lists his sons and daughters and the children of his deceased sons and daughters. I am also descended from a James Bruce and Arrene/Serena/Anna Stanley of Sumner County but I haven't been able to connect either to their parents. He was probably descended from either James or Robert, brothers of the above William, but I have found nothing. Let's compare notes. Joyce
