Surnames: BRUCE, BRIDGES, COPELAND, DORSEY, POWELL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ic.2ADI/1212.1 Message Board Post: James is the son of Aziel BRUCE, who was born in Edgecombe County, NC. Aziel had a son named John L. BRUCE, but he wasn't married until 1821, and in Putnam County, GA. I am not sure who this John is, as I don't have the census in front of me, and you didn't give his age range or number and ages of children. Townley BRUCE isn't connected to Aziel or James as far as I know. Julia French Wood
