     A-1. Jessie (Jinnie) Bruce born 1841, Red Point Prince Edward Island, married August 31, 1869, Georgetown 
     
     Prince Edward Island, Alexander (Alex) MacLean, born 1829, (son of Alexander MacLean and Janet (also 
     
     Jannett or Jessie) Kennedy) died 1921, interred at Kingsboro Prince Edward Island, in the East Point Baptist 
     
     Church Cemetery. Jessie died 1917, interred at Kingsboro Prince Edward Island, in the East Point Baptist

     Alex had taken over the family farm from his father. His mother died the same year as Alex and Jessie's 
     
     wedding. They continued to run the farm until their deaths. Jessie was known for being a very strong willed, 
     
     determined woman and not that easy to get along with. However she was very devoted to her family. When 
     
     her father died, she took her mother into their home and cared for her until her death. They had no children of 
     
     their own but for some reason in their middle age, they adopted her sister's (Katie's) child Cassie Laura. The 
     
     adoption is listed in Alex's Bible. Cassie was the apple of their eye and when she suddenly died, they were 
     
     heartbroken. 
     
    

    
     In the early 1900's, they took their nephew Elliott Bruce and his young wife, Clara Stewart, to live with them 
     
     with the understanding that the family farm would be left to them. Elliott was a good carpenter, and made many 
     
     changes in the home. Jessie and Clara could never see eye to eye, and after time Elliott and Clara moved out 
     
     and took up residence in East Baltic. Shortly after, they took another young man into their home, a minister's 
     
     son named Roddie Kidson. He helped them run the farm until the time of their deaths. When Alex died, he left 
     
    

    
     the farm to Roddie and his young bride, the former Elsie Ching.
