She was b. 1764 in Charleston, SC; d. 1802 in Charleston, SC; ma. Samuel Phillips JONES. Later generations of their JONES descendants (including my mother) lived in GA. I have two lines of BRUCE ancestry before Jane Bruce who were related to King Robert the Bruce. One BRUCE line is through Jane's g-grandfather, Robert BRUCE, who was supposedly a descendant of King Robert's first cousin. I have always felt this line is a little "fuzzy", since what I have on Jane's grandfather, David Bruce, is based solely on a published genealogy, which unfortunately gives no dates or places for him, or even a spouse's name. That source is "The Wannamaker, Salley, Mackay and Bellinger Families Genealogies and Memoirs" compiled by J., Skottowe Wannamaker. (of which I have copies of a few pages-- not the entire work.) According to that work, this David's father was supposedly Robert Bruce, the 2nd Earl of Elgin. That line traces back to a Robert Bruce who was the first cousin of King Robert the Bruce. This line, at least in part, agrees with what Carol has shown above. My other BRUCE line is through the above Jane's grandmother Lady Euphemia MONTGOMERY, who was the dau. of Alexander MONTGOMERY, 9th Earl of Eglington. That line traces back through at least two lines directly to King Robert the Bruce, through his dau. Marjorie who ma. Walter Stewart. I have that Euphemia married George Lockhart of Carnwath who d. in 1731, but I have no places or dobs for either. That info. is mostly from "Peerage of Scotland" by Douglas. I would be delighted to share with Carol and/or anyone else on the BRUCE-L, who hopefully might help me firm up some of the "fuzzy" spots in my BRUCE lineage. Dexter Dexter Edge Jr. Olympia, WA
