Excerpt from The Duncan Family Register of Lewis Duncan and Harriet Kinnaird Judge Grimsley says: "From an examination of the records here, I find, that from 1750 to 1790, there lived in Culpeper county, four large families by the name of Duncan; that of William, and of Charles, of James, and of Robert. Tradition in some branches of the family has it that they were Scotchmen and brothers; and I have no doubt this is correct. They were people of more than ordinary education. I notice that all deeds and wills made by them were signed by their own hands, both male and female, which was not at all common in those early days. "The children of William Duncan were John (who died unmarried before his father); Rawley, James, who married Senie Browning; William, who married Rose Norman and died in 1788; Joseph, who died in 1802; Ann, who married a Mr. Roberts, and Rice, who also died unmarried. "The children of Charles Duncan were Norman, who married Lucy Browning; William, Charles, Shadrach, Isaac, John, Milly, Henry, Elizabeth and Zachery. These all appear to have left Virginia early, and I have no trace of them. "James Duncan's children were Reuben, James, Willis, William, Francis, Mary, Ann, and Sarah. The wife of this James was named Barsheba. This family also left Virginia early. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
