I'm very apprehensive about following other people's family trees at this point, it's made too much additional legwork in the way of fixing other folk's screwups on Ancestry.com...
Case in point - I chased a couple rabbits on Ancestry for this particular descendant - Ben P. Bruce, and they all lead to yes, the Robert De Bruys.
I find that pretty unlikely*, but if it is true... cool!
*(Realizing that Bruce diaspora in America were all too eager to find they were descended from the Braveheart hero...)
Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude
