Dr. John F Duckworth, 1922-2013
John F."Jack" Duckworth, DVM whose family research began in the 1950s passed away at his home in Rockwood, TN March 15 after having reached his 90th birthday last August. He was my second cousin and he was also my friend and mentor in researching our ancestors. He did his research pre-internet, having traveled to libraries, courthouses, archives, cemeteries and visiting with family who were interested in the history of Duckworths. He was always appreciative of the help he received from others in personal interviews and written correspondence.
many of you on this forum have been helped by Dr. John as he has readily shared the results of his work with everyone who contacted him. He has entrusted me with all of his files containing data from his years of research. In honor of Dr. John, I will continue his effort to help anyone who desires to know more about their family genealogy if there are any data regarding their family line in our records.
