In the newspaper Tarboro Free Press, Tarboro, NC, March 20, 1832, is found......

Died at the house of his son-in-law, Maj. Abraham Peoples, in Guilford Co.,NC on Jan. 21st last, Charles Bruce, Esq., aged 90 years and 10 days. Mr. Bruce was a native of Westmoreland Co., Va., whence he emigrated to North Carolina, and in the year 1769 settled in Guilford Co., NC, at a place which he called Summerfield, where he has resided ever since. He was a member of the Convention that formed the State Constitution in 1776; for several years, about the close of the Revolutionary War, was a member of the State Legislature, and was for the last thirty years, a member of the Baptist Church. He possessed to an eminant degree the esteem and confidence of all who knew him.


I have no interest in this family and only post this as a resource.
