Children of Charles Duncan and Margaret Kirk

There are some further details below under "Some Descendants."

Research and Speculation

Charles and his family are found in Giles county Virginia in 1810:

1810 > VIRGINIA > GILES > NO TWP LISTED Series: M252 Roll: 68 Page: 740 Charles Duncan 11301 40010 00

The following is more an article about Landon Duncan than of Charles, the reason being that Landon is the only person of whom we can attribute any kind of relationship to Charles, and that comes by way of this very brief statement in Landon's 1812 letter from Giles County, (West) Virginia to his uncle Alamander Duncan, still living in Stokes County, North Carolina. The letter is found among the the papers of Rev Landon Duncan,¹⁶³ housed at Virginia Tech.

I must acquaint you that I arived to Cosin Charles' after a Journey of 7 days without any disaster or accident.

The conclusions I come to below depend on that stated relationship. It's possible that Charles was something other than a first cousin, perhaps a second cousin. In that event, this is all wrong. The following also depends on the accuracy of the cited article from Genealogies of Virginia Families. So far as I know, no one has verified any of that data. I suspect it is a combination of fact, family legend and speculation--the latter, in particular, with respect to the "daughters" of John Duncan. More on that later.

Donald L West writes about Alamander in a 1999 post, found at the NCSTOKES-L Archives on Ancestry.com:

...there are two Alamander Duncans. My Alamander Duncan was born 23 Dec 1766 and married Susannah Vaughn 14 Jan 1809 Stokes Co., NC. From my personal family records of my grandparents Alamander was the Son of John & Dinah Bradford Duncan. But the listed children of John and Dinah does not show a son named Alamander. This is perplexing to me. The other Alamander born 1777 is the son of Joseph and Jimima Marr Duncan. This Alamander married Anne Francis. I am sure there is a connection for both of them somewhere, but just do not know what.

This is found in a 1999 post:

Subject: Re: [NCSTOKES-L] Alamander Duncan in Saury Town (1810)

Frances Ingmire's "Stokes County North Carolina Marriage Records 1783-1868", Volume 1, page 26 shows the following:

Groom: Alamander Duncan
Bride: Susannah Vaughn
Date: January 11, 1809

And the following is purportedly "what Charley Duncan copied from family Bibles when in Indiana in 1910."¹

Alamander Duncan, son of Jno Duncan and Dinah his wife was born Dec. 23, 1766 died Oct. 7, 1856 at 11 PM. 89 years, 9 mo. 14 days. Susannah Vaughn (wife of Alamander Duncan) Daughter of Jos. Vaughn and Elizabeth his wife was born June 14, 1787 died April 25, 1865

This is found on the 1810 census. John Southern was our Charles Duncan's son-law:

1810 > NORTH CAROLINA > STOKES > SAURA DIST Series: M252 Roll: 43 Page: 143 John Sothern 00010 40100 0 Alamander Duncan 10011 00011 0

Alamander had been married only a year. Clearly, the young boy was his son. Alamander was about 44 so it's not certain just which mark belongs to him. However, there is a good case to suggest that Landon (26-44) and Chloe (45+) may have been living with Alamander (45+) and his wife, Susannah (26-44).

I believe the following letter, found among the Landon Duncan papers, to be the clincher. The writer's father, Owen White is probably the so-called Goring White who married Leanna Duncan. More on that below. And note the reference to "the Bradfords." That name also comes up again.

Back of letter is addressed to "Mr. Hiram Duncan, Blakly, Stokes County, North Carolina." Note that the letter was "Recd this 11th Jany 1837 H.D."

The is found for Owen White in 1820:

1820 > TENNESSEE > SUMNER > GALLATIN Series: M33 Roll: 124 Page: 209 Owen White 000001 00101 0101

And then we have this from Genealogies of Virginia Families, Tyler Quarterly, Volume I, page 217. The information was obtained from a letter written prior to 1884 from Thomas H Robinson to Judge William M Bradford. Note the reference to the Bradford family in the Jane Shreves letter.

Dinah or Diana Bradford, also a daughter of John and Mary (Marr) Bradford, married John Duncan, Jr., of Fauquier County. The loss of so many Prince William records prevents our having much information on the Duncans, tho they, too, appear successively in Richmond, King George, Prince William, and Fauquier records. According to Mr Robinson, the children of this marriage were: (1) John, "killed in the Revolution." (2) William, born 1750, married in Fauquier County, May 16, 1780, Lydia, born 1756, daughter of Rice and Elizabeth Duncan, removed to Harrison County, Kentucky. (3) Charles died unmarried, was an artificer in the Revolution." (4) Joseph married in Fauquier County Jemima Marr, probably duaghter of John Marr. (5) Rose married in Fauquier County February 11, 1789, Leander Murphy. (6) Leanna married January 18, 1789, in Fauquier County, Goring White, and moved to Russelville, Kentucky. (7) Susanna. (8) Cloe. The writer has no further information on this line.

Let's say for a moment that the above in kind of true; that Leanna married Owen White, not Goring White, and that Susanna and Cloe were daughters-in-law, rather than daughters. (Indeed, a reading of Jane Shreve's letter might suggest to someone that Susanna and Chloe were sisters but we know from Landon's letters that that was not the case.) We can then place this family neatly into Landon's family: mother Cloe, in-law aunt Susanna and an aunt who married a White. It fits so well that it almost has to be true.

If the Virginia Families paragraph is kind of true, what else is kind of true? Could it be that John Duncan's son Charles did marry or otherwise did not die childless? The 1787 tax list for Fauquier county includes the following:

    Duncan Charles self 0 7 10 9 25
    Duncan Charles self 0 0 0  1 0     son to Charles

We have no proof that our Charles is the younger Charles but we know that he married the previous year in Fauquier county and might very well have been taxed. In any event, we know from this record that a young man in Fauquier county named Charles Duncan had a father named Charles Duncan. A study of extant land records and deeds, if they exist at all, might yield some information on that point.

And we end up with a much clearer picture of Landon's family. If we accept that Charles was Landon's cousin, then we can reasonably accept that Charles's grandparents were John Duncan Jr and Dinah Bradford.

So now, let's revise the chart above with the very important caveat that there is some theory here, that it's kind of true. It still needs to be (dis)proved:

John Duncan, Jr m Dinah Bradford | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | William Joseph John Charles Rose Leanna Chloe³ Alamander Unknown (1750-) (c1751) (1756-) m Leander m Owen | (1766-) (Charles?) m Lydia m Jemima Murphy² White | m Susannah | Duncan, Marr | | Vaughan | dau of | | | | | Rice Alamander | | Hiram Duncan | Duncan (1777-) | | | and Marshall Jane m Landon Duncan Charles Duncan (1793-) Shreves (1786-1867) (1761-1838) m Sarah Kirk m Margaret Kirk

In other words, Jane, Landon, Hiram and Charles were first cousins to one another. And, again, note the reference to the Bradford family in the Jane Shreves letter.

We can add to this mix the fact that Charles Duncan was a generation older than Landon. This would mean that Landon's father was probably one of John's youngest sons and that our Charles was a grandson through one of the elder sons. The next step is to find out more about the elder Charles. What land records are in his name? Did he move out of Fauquier County and die elsewhere?

Now that I've painted a rather pretty picture, let me try to destroy it.

Alamander Duncan was born in 1766. If we give his mother a spread of about 20 years for her birthing career (oops), her earliest child might have been born c1746. That dovetails nicely with the birth of her supposed son William (1750). It's believed that Dinah was born c1726--based on what, I don't know, but it would be best not to assume that she had children earlier than c1745. We don't know when Charles, another supposed son, was born. If 1746 then he'd have been about 15 when our Charles was born. But our Charles's age works nicely to have been a son of Dinah. However, Landon does not refer to him as an uncle but as a cousin.

We do not know who Landon's father was but his mother married Thomas Kirk in January of 1818. Landon makes reference in his 1818 letter to his mother and father. Clearly, he's referring to his step-father, Thomas Kirk, who happens to have also been his father-in-law! Since Thomas was the brother-in-law of our Charles Duncan (married to Thomas Kirk's sister), Charles was related by marriage twice over.

Here's the in-law relationship between Landon and Charles Duncan:

John Kirk <-- brothers? --> Thomas Kirk | m Margeret Duncan -------------------------------------- | | | | -------------- John Kirk Thomas Kirk Margaret Kirk | | (1754-) (c1756-1821) (1767-1847) Joseph Kirk Mary Kirk m Elizabeth m2 Chloe Duncan m Charles Duncan, m Wm Duncan O'Brian mother of Landon "cousin" of Landon Duncan Duncan m1 Nancy Webb | Sarah Kirk m Landon Duncan

DNA

William Duncan of Giles County was born c1761 and was about the same age as Charles. His wife, Mary Kirk, was a daughter of Thomas Kirk and Margaret Duncan. A descendant of William's is a Y-DNA match of the male descendants of John Duncan and Dinah Bradford. Consider the following:

• A letter from Landon written to Alamander Duncan
• Alamander's bible says he was son of John and Dinah
• A letter says that (my) Charles was a cousin of Landon Duncan
• Landon's mother was a daughter of John and Dinah
• Landon's DNA does not match John's
• John and Dinah had a son named Charles
• The 1787 census calls my Charles "son of Charles."
• William Duncan's Y matches the Duncan/Bradford family

A partilineal descendant of Charles descendant should Y-test for confirmation. But it is looking exceedingly good that Charles was a grandson, likely through Charles, of John and Dinah.

1989 Article

I wrote the following for a Hogue family reunion in July 1989.

Duncan, Charles.

Born 10 January 1761 in Fauquier County, Virginia. His parents are currently unknown; however, there were several families named Duncan in Fauquier County in the late 18th century. As well, there were a number of Duncans in Stokes County, North Carolina where he resided some years after the Revolution. More significantly, there are Duncans found in his last place of residence, Giles County, Virginia.

Of those families is a Rev. Landon Duncan. The Giles County Historical Society sent me a copy of a biography of Landon written by Jack Winsor Hanson. It states, "Landon Duncan was born in Fauquier County, Virginia ca. 1786. He was born into a large family of Duncans who lived in the county, but removed thence to Stokes County, North Carolina, and passed his boyhood there. He grew up under George Washington's presidency. About the close of the 18th century, he moved from North Carolina to Virginia to what is now Giles County."

This same biography states that Landon had a brother Rev. Charles Duncan; however, we cannot be sure that he was the same Charles. We do know that Landon performed the marriages for Charles'[s] children Thornton (1819) and Margaret (1828) as well as for Charles'[s] grandchildren Judith Southern (1825), Sally Southern (1828) and Alice Southern (1830). Undoubtedly, Charles and Landon were related. Further study of Landon's life, who was a prominent citizen of his day, might reveal more about Charles'[s] parentage.

Charles joined the fight against the British on 12 January 1777, serving as a private in Daniel's Morgan Regiment. According to his pension records he was at the battle of Branywine, 11 September 1777, at which Washington was severely defeated by General Howe, although retarding Howe's advance on Philadelphia. He was discharged at Fredericktown, Maryland on 12 January 1780.

On 27 July 1819 he and his brother-in-law, John Kirk, appeared in court to present testimony regarding Charles'[s] service. It states, "he is in reduced circumstances and stand in need of the assistance of his County for Support..."

Charles Duncan and Margaret Kirk were married in Fauquier County, Virginia on 17 December 1786. Their first two children were born in Virginia. In 1791 their third child, Elizabeth, was born in North Carolina. In 1798 son Braxton was born in Virginia, probably Giles County.

Charles Duncan died in Giles County, Virginia in 24 October 1838.
