Notes - Walter Bruce was living in 1668 (Norfolk Recs., 1666-75, p, 111), but died some time previous to 1690. In a deed of that year, by Abraham Bruce, he states that " he is the eldest son of Walter Bruce, then deceased," and also that his father's will " had been lost by those who had the keeping of it and no record thereof to be found," By law he thus became entitled to his father's lands, but in this deed he confirms to his brother, John,' the 600 acres on Bowman's creek, in Lower Norfolk county, which had been bequeathed John in his father's will. (Lower Norfolk Rec., 1685-95, p. 123.)
