Hello, all interested persons in the study of the DUKE family name and the lines in SC and Alabama. I have recently found the final estate settlement record, concerning the estate of Robert DUKE, who deceased in Perry Co., Al., in ca. 1850, or later. It appears, in this document, that Robert had two sons and one daughter, some of the details of which were not generally known to me, earlier. He was the son of Thomas DUKE of Fairfield District, as described by Tony Cox. It is possible to see much about these two men on the web-pages which Tony has so faithfully maintained, at www.home.att.net/~ztlcox/ , and I understand that he intends to add this document there, in the very near future. I asm very pleased to welcome any comments, or questioins about this document, and the man from whom iit originates. I do not claim to be an expert, but now, I can safely claim to be a descendant!! Regards to all the DUKE lines represented on these lists!! Joe DUKE
