Martha, Sorry that none of the Duncans mentioned are connected to this Samuel Duncan family. Does anyone have James Hall and Hannah Richardson and their son James Hall (who married Sarah Duncan)? In the SCDAH there are many James Halls records and I don't have enough information about James Hall Sr. to figure out which land records belong to this particular family. Another family line - Nicholas Dickson petitioned for a land plat on 2 Aug 1767. On 1 Mar 1768 there was a royal grant from King George III and on 27 Jul 1768 there was a record of a memorial for the same land. The question - What might have been the circumstance to receive the royal grant in response after a land plat was petitioned? Is there a record of Nicholas' death date and perhaps Will? I have his widow Margaret's land plats beginning 29 Oct 1772 and her Will executed 15 April 1824 and proven 30 Jan 1826 leading to the conclusion that Nicholas died before Oct 29 1772. I am interested in this family because their youngest son Robert married Mary Elizabeth Hall, daughter of James Hall and Sarah Duncan. Thanks!
