Notes

Genealogies of Virginia Families Vol. I page 583 first states he is the s/o James Bruce the Immigrant but page 599 corrects the error to show he is actually the s/o George Bruce d. 1716 in KGCo

BRUCE, Margaret, d. July 22, 1765, p. Aug 6, 1765. Wit. John Battaley, John Doncastle. Ex. brother-in-law, Thomas James, of Spotsylvania Co. Leg. my mother (no name given); my sister Mary James; my sisters Susannah Fickling; Elizabeth Bronaugh; Mary James and Frances Banks. (pg 220)

[Editor's note: From a deed dtd 4 May 1764 I found that Margaret was born Margaret BRUCE, the daughter of Charles Bruce and Elizabeth Pannell. Elizabeth was the daughter of William Pannell. Elizabeth later married John Grant. Margaret's sisters were: Mary (wife of Thomas James), Frances (wife of Mr. Banks), Susannah (wife of Mr. Ficklin), and Elizabeth (wife of Mr. Bronough). Pretty good deed!]
