Lori: A question on your Bruce line: Do you have a Benjamin Brittain Bruce b at 1770/75 in your data base. Not sure of his place of birth. Some of the Bruce's left TN for KY and other areas. I don't know about mine. He is in Catahoula Parish, LA about 1800. It is believed that he may have came out of KY. I have proven records of him from 1800. He died in 1822 in Catahoula Parish, LA leaving three boys and three girls and no wife.
