    3. Hello fellow Duncan researchers, I, too, am related to the Henderson Co. Duncans. Martha Duncan (parents unknown) married William Handley. Martha and William evidently divorced, their two children (George and John) were left with relatives to raise. William was born in 1832 (in Henderson Co or Webster Co, KY) and died in 1908 in Freestone Co., TX. Martha was born about 1837 (in Henderson or Webster Co., KY) and did remarry. William and Martha are my gg grandparents. I would like more information on Martha and her family. I am enclosing some material below from my FTM program that I have gathered from a Handley researcher. My e-mail is: gkeusch@psci.net Thanks. Helen Keusch In the In the 1860 Webster Census, a Richard Duncan (39, b. in NC) is listed along with his wife, Elizabeth (36). The following children are listed: Martha (13), William (10), Virginia A. (8), Manda (6), Arch D. (4). Also listed in the same household are John T. Handley (9) and George H. Handley (5) plus Elisha W. Duncan (22) and Mary Duncan (20). It is presumed that Martha Duncan, the mother of John and George is dead by 1860--Martha would be 23 years old. Martha could have been a sister to Elisha Duncan--possibly a daughter to Richard and Elizabeth if they had children at a very young age. From the notes of Glen Johnson, Martha Duncan left William Thomas Handley and remarried a Keller by 1860. William is with his mother, Mary, in 1860 and the two boys are with Martha's brother, Richard Duncan.
