Joshua
Duncan b. 1799/1800
Joshua Duncan, born 1799/1800 in
Of the parents of Joshua there is no trace.
While there is no proof, it is generally accepted that Champion
Duncan, b. 1811, is the brother of Joshua.
It is probable that Henry Duncan, b. 1785 is another brother.
All three were born in
Robert
Sidney Duncan’s line remembers the name of the mother of Joshua Duncan, b.
1799/1800 as being “Martha”. There
is no documentation for any of this, but the following is how that family
lists the parents and siblings of our Joshua:
Joshua Duncan, b. ca 1755, spouse Martha Duncan b. ca 1756, mar. 1774
Henry Duncan b. 1785
Gideon Duncan b. ca 1787
David Duncan, b. ca 1789
Claburn Duncan, b. 1791
Joshua Duncan, b. 1799, d. 1890,
Will
Freeman Duncan, b. 1804.
Champion C. Duncan Sr., b.
Steven Alsip’s family tree lists the same parents and children as above, but adds another son, James:
Name: James Duncan‑
Born:
Died: 18 Mar 1863 Place: Civil War, Pine Knot,Whitley Co,Ky
Bur.: Place: Hdstne.Davis Cem,Hayes Creek,Mccreary Co,Ky
Spouse: Emily Roark
Marr: 28 May 1840 Place: Morgan Co, Tn
This establishes the reason most people think that our Joshua’s father was also named Joshua.
There are quite a few Joshua Duncan’s of the right age to be the father of our Joshua found in the early records. Records also account for most of them and their offspring.
So
we are left with a mystery. Who
were the parents of Joshua Duncan? Where
in
We
do have rich and full documentation on our Joshua and his descendents.
Joshua and Rosey were farmers. In
addition to being a Court Justice and farmer, in later life, Joshua owned a
store which still exists in what is now
From
an article “Stepping back in Time”in the Scott County FNB, dated January
28, 2004, by Josetta Griffith about the Duncan Feed Store
And
It All Began With Joshua Duncan in the mid-1800s
JOSHUA
DUNCAN operated a general merchandise store in the Buffalo Community during
the mid-1800s. According to old ledgers on file with the Scott County
Historical Society, a "pare of men shews" sold for $1.75 in 1856.
A yard of calico material sold for 20 cents. One dozen buttons for a
quarter. Four pounds "shuger" for 50 cents.
One "stear," $30 and one "yoake oxens,"
$75.
Most of the Tennessee Duncan’s were
pro-Union during the Civil War. Joshua
does not appear to have been involved in the conflict.
Joshua’s brother Champion was a member of the Northern Home Guard.
Joshua’s son Oliver, a great uncle of Hans Duncan, had a close call
according to the following:

The subject of this sketch, Mrs. Nancy Sartin, whose portrait is herewith
presented, is beyond a doubt the only person living in Howard county to-day
who is old enough to have ever had any personal recollection of George
Washington. One other person still lives in Howard county
who was born a short time prior to the death of the first president, namely,
