The Bible record shows that James G(ibson) Bruce is a son of Ignatius Bruce and not the son of Azariah Benjamin Bruce, dispelling a common misconception. |
The pertinent notations are: |
BIRTHS DEATHS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ignatius Bruce born Feb 7th 1780 | Ignatius Bruce died Sept 21st 1813 Sinai his wife born Aug 15th 1778 | Sinai has died ___________________________________| James G. Bruce born Aug 28th 1800 | Nancy H. Bruce born Aug 8th 1800 | Samuel J. Bruce born Aug 26th 1804 | S.J. Bruce Died July 3rd 1837 Mary M. Bruce born March 26th 1807 | Frances P. Bruce born Feb 26th 1809| Frances P. Bruce died Mar 18th 1812 or 1822 Ignatius Bruce born Aug 13th 1814 | Bailey Bruce born Dec 26th 1813 | |
A left margin entry in part says: Fathers old Bible April 11 1841 - B Bruce
Jim and Byford Bruce & Jack White agree, the B. Bruce is likely Bailey Bruce, the youngest child listed under Ignatius Bruce and his wife Sanai.
