It's quite possible that after the war, that his family had his burial exhumed and shipped back home. Don't rule him out either. You never know what may have happened, but it sounds like that is what happened here after reading the Scot tombstone. Just a thought, Vicki Researching these names: ARWINE, BAKER, BARRETT, BENVANSCHOTEN, BRANDOW, BROKAW, BUTLER, CARNES, CROWE, DEAN, FERRIS, GOLDEN, HAVENS, HENDERSHOTT, HOXTER, HUBER, ISAMAN, JENKS, KELLEHER, KNAPP, KOONTZ, LUNDRIGAN, MAKELEY, MCDERMOTT, MEHLENBACHER, MERRITT, NEU, NORTHRUP, O"CONNOR, OSINCUP, OXX, PATTERSON, POWERS, QUICK, RAHMLOW, ROBERTSON, ROBINSON, ROOT, RYAN, SLAUGHTER, STOCUM, WADE, WHITE, WILCOX, WRIGHT, VAN OXX, YECKLEY, YOUNG, ZIMMERMAN.

Have you gone and inquired to a Duncan - rootsweb group? That may be the more expeditious method.

Thanks to Vicki and John for very helpful suggestions concerning John Leith DUNCAN: I'll follow up on the suggestion to try a Duncan list. The dates and places of death of the John Leith Duncan listed on the Aberdeenshire monument (August, at Richmond), and of the John L. Duncan of the NY 66th who died (at Petersburg) in September, are discrepant but close, and there could be a number of circumstances which could have led to different dates being recorded for the same person. Their ages at death do match - 29. And both are described as dying of wounds received in battle (the implication being that they died some time later, rather than in battle). I think this particular needle may be in a small enough haystack for me to take take the plunge and order the full service record from NARA. Thanks again, William in Alberta
