Submitted by Daniel P. Bruce on 10 April 2018:
Folks,
I had Ancestry confirm my lineage to George Bruce of Woburn, Massachusetts, and this is their reply to me:
Dear Daniel:
We are excited to present you with the findings from our search into your Bruce family lineage. We were privileged to have our esteemed colleague, Nathan W. Murphy, a Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists, assist with the research. You wanted us to review the Bruce lineage back to George Bruce, born 1634, document George’s origins, and learn more about his immigration to the United States. Research Summary We were able to quickly verify the pedigree you compiled back to Isaiah Bruce (1754–1837) of Bolton and Marlborough, Massachusetts, adding a variety of new documentation to your tree. Barnard A. Bruce married Frances M. Calkins at Plymouth Congregational Church in Seattle, King County, Washington in 1920 (Document 1). The marriage of Barnard’s grandparents, Barnard Bruce and Ruth Glidden, was found in Windsor, Kennebec County, Maine, in 1851. Barnard informed authorities he was a resident of “Patrick town Plantation” (Document 3). Barnard Bruce Jr. (age 42) and an elder Barnard Bruce (age 70) [his father], along with a 33-year-old Isaiah Bruce, were found in Patricktown Plantation, Lincoln County, Maine, on the 1850 census (Document 4). The father of the elder Barnard Bruce was Isaiah Bruce, according to Heritage Consulting’s Millennium File. In the publication Some Descendants of George Bruce of Woburn, Massachusetts, it is also stated that Barnard Bruce was Isaiah’s son. Original sources identifying Isaiah Bruce’s children are not cited. The compilers base Barnard’s parentage on “Records of Annie Flewelling and her aunt, Lila Crummett.” Naming patterns in the Maine family suggest we’re on the right track, as the unique name “Isaiah” carried down through the family, and Isaiah’s wife’s maiden name was Barnard. The origin of the given name Isaiah, used by the Bruce family, can be identified. Isaiah Bruce (1754– 1837) was the son of Samuel and Betty (Whitney) Bruce of Bolton, Worcester County, Massachusetts. His maternal grandfather was Isaiah Whitney of Harvard, Worcester County, Massachusetts. Identifying the parentage of Samuel and Betty (Whitney) Bruce produced significant challenges. In an article published in the prestigious New England Historical and Genealogical Register (NEHGR) in 1982, it is stated that Samuel Bruce, who married Betty Whitney, was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Townshend) Bruce of Bolton, Massachusetts, and a descendant of immigrant Thomas Bruce, a seventeenth-century settler of Sudbury and Marlborough, Massachusetts (Document 10). This disagrees with the family tree you shared with us, which traces Samuel Bruce’s ancestry back to an immigrant named George Bruce. One of the co-authors of the article, Catherine Rose Fahey, helped publish another genealogy of the Bruce family of Colonial Massachusetts twenty years later. In this more recent publication, Samuel’s parentage changed. He is identified as a son of Samuel and Rebecca (Winn) Bruce of Bolton, Massachusetts, grandson of William Bruce of Woburn and Bolton, Massachusetts, and great-grandson of immigrant George Bruce of Woburn, Massachusetts (Document 11). Catherine Rose Fahey also helped publish an updated account of immigrant Thomas Bruce’s descendants about the same time. The authors explain a mistake had been made in the NEHGR article, and it was a different Samuel Bruce who was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Townshend) Bruce, citing deeds of Worcester County, Massachusetts (Document 9). We reviewed a number of Worcester County, Massachusetts, deeds concerning men named Samuel Bruce. There were several men with this name there in the mid-1700s and they didn’t leave wills, which caused research challenges. Tracing the Bruce family land proved crucial in determining Samuel’s correct lineage. Samuel Bruce was in fact the son of Samuel Bruce (who married Rebecca Winn), as is explicitly stated in land transactions (Documents 14, 18–19). There are also scant records concerning the elder Samuel Bruce’s father, William Bruce. The birth of his son, Samuel Bruce, is recorded at Woburn in 1701, but William didn’t leave a will, nor could we find a list of heirs recorded in Worcester County, Massachusetts, deed books. The elder Samuel can be traced back to Woburn, where he married Rebecca Winn in 1729. William’s age at death in Bolton (in 78th year in 1747), is a close fit to the 1667 baptism of William Bruce at Woburn. William Bruce’s 1667 baptism identifies him as the son of George Bruce. His mother was Elizabeth (Clark) Bruce. George Bruce’s name was also frequently spelled “Brush” in the early Massachusetts records. The Bruce family publications state his origin is unknown. The Bruce Y-DNA Project reports having tested descendants of both Massachusetts immigrants George Bruce and Thomas Bruce, and concluded they do not match. We didn’t have adequate time to verify the lineages of those tested, but the descendants of George Bruce report descent from Samuel and Rebecca (Winn) Bruce, which is your line, which we have attempted to verify. Some have theorized George was Scottish. All we know at this point is that he married an Englishwoman at Woburn in 1659, and gave his children the names William (three times), Mary, John, Elizabeth, George, Joseph, Samuel, Margery, and Lydia. These are very English-sounding names. In a court deposition, dated 1663, which you shared with us, George Brush gave his age as 30, calculating an approximate birth year of 1633. The original record should be reviewed. There have been no reported DNA matches between George Bruce’s descendants and Bruce men who still reside in the British Isles – which, if found, would be an invaluable clue to his origin. In conclusion, direct evidence naming parent-to-child relationships does not appear to exist for all generations between yourself and immigrant George Bruce/Brush (1633–1692). Very few of the Bruces we studied left wills in the Colonial period. A reasonable case can be made that he is your ancestor, based on the records we have reviewed to date. It has not been determined where George originated, but he was born in 1633 or thereabouts (age 30 in 1663), had settled in Woburn, Massachusetts, by 1659, where he married an Englishwoman, and was adamant that his eldest son would be named “William,” a possible naming pattern. Future Research The original court deposition identifying George Brush’s age should be obtained. A reference should be included in Melinde Lutz Sanborn’s Ages from Court Records 1636 to 1700. The name George Bruce will be very common in the British Isles, and Y-chromosome DNA clues have already been utilized without success. Background information could also be sought on Scottish immigration to Massachusetts in the 1650s. Options for continuing research include (1) waiting for a Y-DNA match with a Bruce in the British Isles to be found, or (2) searching indexes to Scottish and English parish registers for infants named George Bruce or Brush baptized around the year 1633 and attempting to identify one of them with the American colonist.

The following I post with pure speculation because there is no verifiable evidence other than a timeline that seems to fit George Bruce of Woburn:
There is written evidence, via Parish records, that a George Bruce was born in Clackmannan, Scotland in 1633, the son of Rot. (Robert) Bruce and Elizabeth Halyburton. I speculate, and I do mean speculate, that if this child is my relative, he was later in life captured at the Battle of Dunbar where he served as a Leftenant of Horse and sent to the Colonies as a slave aboard the ship Unity. What I find interesting is that the timeline fits: birth in 1633, Battle of Dunbar 1650, eight (8) years as a slave and then marriage to Elizabeth Clark in Woburn, Massachusetts in 1659…and the fact that the Puritans of the Colonies would accept prisoners who were condemned to slavery for life, but only held them in that capacity for eight years. If George Bruce was indeed of minor nobility, that might explain why he was not ransomed after the Battle of Dunbar and could explain why he may have been treated with deference (working for a single independent owner versus working in a mill, or factory) over other prisoners who arrived on the ship Unity. As exciting as this story is, the origin of the documents used to support it cannot be 100% verified, other than the birth of a George Bruce in Clackmannan in 1633.
~Daniel P. Bruce,

On 18 Oct 2016, Daniel P. Bruce shared, “I am researching a George Bruce who died in Woburn, Massachusetts in about 1692. My DNA relates me to him, but I can find no information that corroborates his birth in Scotland, and there is some suggestion that he was born in Woburn, but I can find no records of that, either. My records indicate that George Bruce married Elizabeth Clark in Woburn, Massachusetts. I have posted my lineage on the Bruce Family website: https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/bruce/about/goals : scroll down to the R1a1a(1) group, and then to kit number #490871, which is my lineage.” ~Daniel P. Bruce,

Written by descendant, Charles D. Bruce, dated 24 Nov 2013, he says, “I believe the passenger listed as “George Brace” is in fact “George Bruce”. An ink blob covers the “u”. If you look at her “a”s they are quite narrow. The “u”s are broad as is this one. We first find George in the record as married in 1659. Died 1692 Woburn.”
