With all the Duncan information and questions, I have been thinking about posting this but kept putting it off due to time constraints and thoughts that it really probably won't help anyone that much researching Duncans but today I have decided to post it anyway. At the least someone may find it interesting. My Joseph Pearson, born 1774 in Newberry SC son of Benjamin and Margaret Evans Pearson migrated up to Ohio in 1808, with wife Margaret Cammack and children, settling in northern Butler Twp. Montgomery Co. I have found what I believe is a deed of sale of land to a William Duncan as buyer from my Joseph Pearson as sellor. It is dated Feb 13, 1808, so I've figured it was Joseph selling his land in Newberry prior to his migration north. I had been working on transcribing it and got about half way through and put it aside about a year ago and have yet to finish it. If anyone is interested in it's contents feel free to ask.

Wow! That could be significant. There is much confusion about the John C. Hooker b 1810 MD line. No one seems to agree on the mother of his children. Birth certificates of children say the name of his last wife (Rachel Green or Rachel Pearce.) Others say it was Mathe McPherson, most likely an early wife since the last wife Rachel is buried alongside him in TN and was much younger. Somewhere in old records, one of the Duncan descendants mentioned a Pearson/Pierson connection, but no one has ever discovered what it might be.... John C Hooker's son was John Willis Hooker who married Lettice Duncan/Dunkin, daughter of Robert Paul Duncan b 1815 VA who in NC married Adeline Whitaker, daughter of Sen. James Whitaker of NC (Quaker). I'll study my notes to see if there are other connections to the material Mr. Pearson posted here. As yet, I have not gotten my TN folks into SC except through the Byerley/Bierly line on another part of the tree that married into the Moore family in Abbeville before moving to TN by 1820's.
