John Bird Duke....Stuck!
Hello!I am new to this forum, but would love to get some insight, share information and find out if my family is related.My father's name was Charles Herbert Duke and we have traced his line back 4 generations to a John Bird Duke b.26 Mar 1819, d. 7 Sep 1887 of Clay County Georgia.He was married to Martha Jane Killingsworth and they had 8 children:Nancy T Duke (b.1842), Mary A Duke (b. 1845), Martha Jane Duke (b. 14 Apr 1847), David Dewhart Duke (b.2 Feb 1849, d. 6 Apr 1918), Emmaline Duke (b. 1852), Robert H. Duke (b.1853), Sarah Ella Duke (b. 1859) and Amanda M Duke (b. 1863).Now this information was printed back in 1994 just before my dad passed away and I have not been able to find out if these dates are still accurate, but this is what he had.My question is this, any thoughts as to who John Bird Duke was?Could he be one of the Johns?I have no information on siblings or parents.I do have a cousin who has been working on this and I believe might have linked John Bird to a Bird Cooper, who was son of Sarah Duke (b. 1792) who was a daughter of Shadrack Duke (b.1769).Not sure if he has been able to make that connection yet or not.Thank you for any and all help you might be able to give me!
