Ancestors of Martha Jo (Martha) Cross

Generation No. 33


      7030030848. Adam Of Bruce, born Bef. 1066 in Normandy; died Unknown.

Notes for Adam Of Bruce:
The Bruces were thought to have descended from Lodver, the Norse Earl of Orkney in the tenth century. Adam de Brus, whose grandfather had settled in Normandy, accompanied William the Conquerer to England. "Burke's Dormant and Extinct Peerages," states that one Robert de Brus came to England with William the Conquerer. Burke's does not mention Robert de Brus' father at all. It is possible that both the father and son accompanied the Conquerer.

Adam de Brus was given the task of reducing resistance to the Normans in Yorkshire. As a reward for his services, he was granted numerous manors in and around that county. His son Robert de Brus inherited the properties.
