  • David Duncan and His Descendants
    THE STORY OF THOMAS DUNCAN AND HIS SIX SONS BY KATHERINE DUNCAN SMITH (Mrs. J. Morgan Smith) NEW YORK TOBIAS A. WRIGHT, INc. PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS 1928 FOREWORD ESEARCH in Duucan genealogy was begun in 1894 and has been R carried on industriously to this date through Court records, VVills, Deeds, Bible records and tombstone inscriptions which have furnished proof and have affixed the seal of authenticity to much of the recorded data. Interested kinspeople have contributed from their store of family traditions some of which have been found to agree with certain facts and may be considered true. Many letters have been received, principally from descendants of Daniel and Stephen Duncan, extracts of which appear in this history and are mute evidence of the interest the writers feel in their lineage and their desire to worthily live and teach their chil­ dren to hold to the standard set by their ancestors. That there are errors in this publication there can be no doubt, but not of my making for: "I cannot tell how the truth may be; I say the tale as 'twas said to me." (Sir Walter Scott.) The frequent appearance of my name and the very personal nature of this book is warranted, somewhat, by the fact that all along the thought has been it would be distributed, mainly, among the descendants of Daniel and Stephen Duncan, between whose families there is very close relationship because of the intermar­ riage of many cousins. The stretch of years between 1894 and 1928 is a long one and it is not possible for me to estimate the time I have given to my self-imposed task, but if this book shall meet with favor and be prized by those into whose hands it may fall, the hours, days and weeks devoted to The Story of Thom,,as Dun­ can and His Si.r Sons will be remembered by me as pastime.
