Thank you for all your research and time. If you are interested in what I have found on the Ducker family, go to www.rootsweb.com. Search for "Anna America" first name and "Ducker" last name. Then work back in time. You will be most interested in her father who fought in the War of 1812 near Fort Detroit and Canada. He was extraordinarily heroic. Most of the 600 Kentuckians were slaughtered in an Indian massachre there. Some were tortured to death by roasting them near (not on) a fire for hours and hours until finally death. The few who were found alive were turned in at Fort Detroit by the Indians to the British for ransom money. Those who couldn't walk there were killed. I've been to the Detroit Public Library that houses many of the documents of that massachre, including first-hand reports of men who survived, and the daily journal of Gen'l Winchester's trip from KY to Detroit that winter. John Nathaniel Ducker III, b. 1789, d. Pendleton 1859, was one of the survivors. This was called the Battle of River Raisin. The Kentuckians who fell in and survived that battle are honored in Monroe, MI, every February. I went to one of their outdoor ceremonies, tho it was freezing outside. The battle field today is a little league baseball field on the banks of the River Raisin. I've gone by there in the summer a few times. As I watch the little boys play, I think that it is a good tribute to and reminder of the freedom that those men fought for that day. And I think of the blood that lies beneath their feet. The price of freedom to play baseball. I have details on this in my database at rootsweb. My database name (right column) is 1940ducker. I have detailed chronologies of the lives of this Ducker line in that database. All sources are listed if I knew them, and websites are cited for the reader to learn more. The oldest Ducker I know of who went to Pendleton Co. was Nathaniel I (the first) who was born 1729 in Maryland.
