Help me with the Duncan's in here
Hello,
Can someone help with the Duncan's listed in here and where they Quakers.The reason I ask that cause most of the duncan's I have talk to or researched are mostly Southern bapitize. I know who this Samuel Duncan is. He is my Line of Duncan's but I can not connect him to the Patrick Duncan in here. In the family of Samuel and Mary Embree their kids are listed. I need help on Joshua Duncan born in 10/16/1785. When his parents moved from Bush River, Newberry Co. South Carolina to Greene Co. Tennessee. It was said the went to the New Hope meetings. Then Samuel and Mary moved to Miami and Union Co Ohio. Their son Joshua Didn't move with them. But is listed has getting married in Virginia to a Rutha ? but I think she was a Duncan from Tennessee. They got married in 1807. Had their first two boys there and the rest are listed has beening born in Tennessee. Joshua was last know place was Greene Co. Tennessee. But his wife and kids moved to Campbell and Scott Co. Tennessee. I have found some of the kids moved to Alabama then back to Scott Co. Tennessee. Joshua and Rutha had:
Joshua 1808 VA, Champion 1810 VA, John 1812 TN, Isaac 1816 TN, Green Berry 1818 TN, James S. 1819 TN- fought in war, Claven 1820 TN, Craven 1820 TN, Freeman 1821 TN, Wiley 1822 TN, Henry 1823 TN (has a nephew born in the same year named Henry), Martha 1833 TN, Agnes H. 1835 TN. Can any one help me please with this and if the duncan's that lived in Tennesse ever went to Ohio to see their cousin's or did they live in there own little circle. I left a space between here cause the stuff below are some records I have found.
Two Quaker Duncan families of Fairfax Co. VA 1748 to Newberry and Edgefield Co. SC; Samuel Duncan d.1770
Craven Co. SC, wife Sarah; and Richard Duncan, b.1722,
d. by 1803, son of Patrick Duncan of Baltimore and
Anne Arundel Co. MD
SAMUEL DUNCAN, d. 1770, wife Sarah ----; probably a
brother of Richard Duncan; his parents may have been
Patrick Duncan and wife Mary of Baltimore and Anne
Arundel Co. MD 1709-1729. NOTE: The name is frequently
spelled Dunkin in the records, as well as Duncan.
He bought 100a on Goose Creek in Fairfax Co. VA
in 1748 (Deed B-392) from Samuel Harris Jr. & wife
Mary which he and wife Sarah sold in Loudoun Co. VA in
1766 to Stephen Russell (Deed E-223). He and Richard
Duncan witnessed deeds for and with the Harris, Cox
and Gregg family from 1748 to 1753 (Deeds B-353,
B-355, B-389, B-394, C-98, C-655). He was a voter in
1755, surveyor of a road in 1757, and in 1758 after
Loudoun Co. VA was formed from Fairfax, he was a chain
carrier with Isaac Walker for a survey for Joshua
Dunkin on a warrant of Joshua's of 1751. He was on the
1758 tax list in Loudoun Co. VA. He was also on the
1765 rental rolls with 2 tithables, and he or another
Samuel was on the rental rolls in 1769, 1771 and 1772.
In 1765, Samuel had 400a surveyed for him on
Bush River adj. Mathias Elmore and William Hilbourn,
in old Craven Co. SC, granted in 1769 (Land plat
11-41, Royal Land Grant 16&18-541, Memorial 8-535).
In 1767, Samuel had 350a surveyed for him in the
fork between Broad and Saluda Rivers on a small branch
of Bush Creek adj. David Hammer or Taverner and Wm.
Austen, in old Berkeley Co. SC. The plat was certified
for Sarah Duncan on 4 Sept. 1770, and later in 1770 was granted to her and memorialized by her (Land plat
11-415, Royal Land grant 21-72, Memorial 10-254).
Samuel's land also adj. Richard Dunkin's 200a in 1771; Richard's other neighbors were Hannah Coote (or Cook)
and David Moat (or Meat) (Land Plat 14-497).
According to the file of Leonardo Andrea on
Counties in SC, old Craven Co. SC included among
others, the eastern portions of present Greenville,
Laurens and Newberry Co., which had first been laid
off as part of old Berkeley Co. Old Berkeley County in
its upper reaches had an indefinite line, and
comprised among other counties the western 2/3 of the
present Laurens Co., and the western half of Newberry
and Greenville, and most of Orangeburg Co. The old
colonial counties were discontinued after the
Revolution.
According to the 1859 "Annals of Newberry in Two
Parts", part 1 by O'Neall, p.28-29, Quaker Settlement
on Bush River and Beaverdam. Residents of same tract
of country before or during the revolution and were
Friends or were ranked as such by descent ... Sarah
Duncan, Samuel Duncan, and John Duncan.
In 1779, Sarah Duncan of Edgefield Co. SC sold
150a on Bush Creek of Broad River in Newberry Co. to
her son Samuel Duncan, witnessed by Enos Elmore, John
Duncan and James Hall (Newb. deed C-306); in 1800,
Samuel Dunkin and his wife Mary sold this land to John
Elleman, being the middle part of the 350a grant to
Sarah Dunkin in 1770 (Newb. deed I-146). In 1816,
Jesse Elleman deeded 115a of the land to Nancy Elleman
(Newb. deed P2-300).
Also in 1779, Sarah Duncan sold 100a in Newberry
Co. SC, part of her 350a grant in 1770, to James
Cummack, witnessed by Samuel Duncan, James Hall and
George Pemberton (Newb. deed G-23, recorded 1804 by
George Pemberton). The Cummack family has not been
traced to find out if there was a kinship to the
Duncans
