He was also connected to the Keeton family thru the Allens. Would anyone know how he was connected to the Keetons..I believe this was in Wake Co, NC about 1753-60. I need help connecting. Thanks Sally Keeton Eichhorn >> Sally, You'll probably hear from several of us on this BRUCE list who may be connected to PETER ELI BRUCE....our ancestor was ALLEN BRUCE b ca 1770-1780 (place unknown at present), d before 1850 Iredell/Alexander Co, NC. ALLEN BRUCE mar in March 1805, Iredell Co, NC to ELIZABETH GARLICK b ca 1785 (census states VA), d June 1873 Lancaster/Kershaw Co, SC - buried in Hanging Rock Methodist Ch Cem where her grave & tombstone still exists today. ALLEN BRUCE's grave site is unknown at this time, but most likely in Iredell/Alexander Co, NC. ELIZABETH (GARLICK) BRUCE was the dau of LEWIS & WINNEE (____) GARLICK, according to info given on her tombstone. Some BRUCE & ALLEN researchers have put forward the theory that our ALLEN BRUCE is the son of PETER ELI BRUCE & w, _______ (ALLEN) BRUCE. Thus far, we haven't found anything to confirm this theory. I am sending you by private Email a snail address of someone who might be able to help you, but who is not "on-line." You may already know this person, if not, be sure & say that I sent you when you write..... Would like to see more of your lines & it's good to see some familiar BRUCE info on here.... ttyl, Sarah Howell Studstill
