Judith Townley Warren Bruce also had a daughter, Francis Bruce. In her 19 Apr 1723 deed, Mary Hemseley lists four children of her sister, Judith Bruce, of whom, Francis is called her eldest daughter. Furthermore, if any of the (Bruce) children died, their part was to go to sd Francis Bruce. The account of John Bruce filed 04 May 1738 indicates 5 children. Counting Williamson Bruce from his subsequent marriage to Sarah Williamson, that suggests that Francis was still living in 1738. I suspect that she married and, like her siblings, had a number of descendents with Townley as a first or middle name. Documentation, though is key, and I am still looking.
