Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ic.2ADI/693.1 Message Board Post: I can't give you any help as I am also interested in the off-spring of James Bruce. Did he have a son named William born about 1789? How old was Rebecca when she married Abner Bruce? When did Abner Bruce die? I show a Rebecca Bruce living in the household of William Bruce in the 1850 Coffee County TN census and I don't believe she was a daughter as she was 35 at that time. This William Bruce was married in Jones County GA in 1819 to Joyce Terry.
