Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 20:02:01 -0700 From: "Grace Upshaw" <gu6225@telocity.com> To: <VA-SOUTHSIDE-D@rootsweb.com> John Bruce Sr. and Benjamin Hall were neighbors on Difficult Creek in Halifax Co mid 1700 to early 1800s. Benjamin was married to Wilmouth Irby, dau. of Anthony Irby. Ben died 1803 Halifax Co. naming his wife and children in his will. John Bruce Sr. died there in 1816, leaving several daughters and one son, John Jr. I need parents and birth places for both men, plus wife of John Bruce who was the mother of his children. These two men are my brick walls. John Bruce's gr. dau, Rachel Bruce, married Benjamin Hall's gr. son James H. Hall in 1821 in Halifax Co. Any clues greatly appreciated. Thanks Grace Hall Upshaw
