It's been a long time since the original message was posted, but maybe better late than never. My connection is through Joel Bruce, who was Peter's son, (bro of Arnold, I think) He had a brother who was a famous Methodist preacher, Phillip, who never married. He was a contemporary of Bishop Francis Asbury, and a great friend. These Bruces are buried at Delrose TN in a field, Giles County. Your Phillip was Phillip Asbury Bruce, probably.
It's possible that Jacques was descended of nobility. More likely than not, I'd say. Those folks produced a lot of offspring!
