NY (now Genesee Co.). Duncan's grave is nonexistant at this time. I believe he was probably buried in Caledonia Presbyterian Cem as he was a founding elder. All others are buried in Mumford cem down the road. Duncan's daughter married Black Alex McPherson's son tying the two founding McPherson families together. They may be already a connection between the two but I haven't confirmed it yet. Black Alex of Crubinbeg, INV's lineage is in the book The Mcpherson's of Genesee Country, Vols 1 & 2 by Donald McPherson. Duncan's (gen #4) uncle Findley McPherson (gen#3) married Mary McNaughton, sister to Duncan's wife Jane McNaughton. My McPherson's end with Catherine who marries William Scott. Would love to hear if anyone has a connection....... Peggy
