Individual Details
Martin DUNCAN
(Abt 1759 - Abt 1827)
Information on this family from Nancy Reba Roy unless cited otherwise.She states that we have no proven records of the descendants of Martin Duncan, but it seems probable that Henry Duncan may have been a son. She lists the children of Henry and his wife Mary Ann. She states that the marriage of Martin Duncan was at Abington, Va., Wash. Co., Mar. Rec.. She also cites several court records pertaining to a Martin Duncan and notes that this Martin Duncan went to Robertson County sometime between 1782 and 1794 and that at that time there were two Martin Duncans in that County.
