Doris, I am just so happy right now, and it is all because of a message that you sent me about the Duncans. The line that you sent turned out not to be my direct line of Duncans, but they were related. Peter Duncan turned out to be the brother of the John Duncan from whom I descend. And the John Duncan from whom I descend came from Scotland to Pennsylvania. He was there for several years; then he wandered down to SC. He liked it so much that two or three years before the French & Indian War, he moved his family there. They settled in 96 District in what is today Laurens Co. In fact, John Duncan was the first settler there and from whom Duncans Creek got its name. He even founded the first church in the area--Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church. (I found a wonderful link to that site on the USGenweb Laurens County Page. I found his daughter, Catherine (from whom I descend). He also had a son named David. Remember that land deed you mentioned some time back about John Spencer and David Duncan's land? Catherine's full name was Milly Catherine Duncan (they called her Katie or Kittie). She became the wife of John Spencer. Bingo. Not only that, but one of the David Duncans (there were several) married Hannah Inman, daughter of Thomas Inman, son of Elisha Inman. I tracked this line from SC to Indiana. Elisha Inman was connected with Ezekiel Inman, father of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (All of this came at a good time--I am currently writing Vol. 2 of "Twigs") Keep sending these neat little messages. You just never know where they lead. Barbara Dr. Barbara Inman Beall, Ph.D, BIBeall@email.msn.com, BBeall43@yahoo.com Lancaster-Wormiston Press P.O.
