Notes for Mae Shuler
Duncan:
She was a terrific Grandmother, wonderful cook, and a loving and devoted
wife to my Grandfather. She loved
spoiling and feeding her three grandsons, of which I personally loved every
minute of.
Their last home on Front Royal Road, was a restored school house, which
was part of the Duncan farm. They
bought the house and property from my Grandmother's youngest sister, Ruth Duncan
Grim. My Grandfather had a wing and
basement added to the old school building. The
"Erastus Duncan farm" in Frederick County, Virginia was sold off and
finally became the Shenandoah Memorial Gardens Cemetery, were the famous county
singer, Patsy Cline is buried. In a
strange and quiet way, my Grandparents had Patsy Cline for a neighbor.
Ryburn and Mae resided alone, taking care of their flower and vegetable
gardens together until 1989. It
saddens me to record that Ryburn Alexander Keesling died in his sleep, in his
own bed, beside his loving wife of 72 years and 6 months on 2 June 1989.
He died 115 days short of his 95th birthday.
Mae Shuler Duncan Keesling died 17 months later on 1 November 1990 at the
Rose Hill Rest Home, Berryville, Va. She
passed away 70 days shy of her 94th birthday.
They both rest together in the Keesling Family plot at Hillsboro
Cemetery, Hillsboro,Loudoun Co.,Va.
They received letters of congratulations and admiration from the
President of the United States, Ronald Reagan and Sen. Harry Byrd on their 65th
wedding anniversary. They were
congratulated by Paul Harvey on his nation wide radio broadcast on November 22,
1988, their 72th wedding anniversary. They
received a congressional letter from Virginia Sen. John Warner (ex-husband of
actress Elizabeth Taylor) in 1988, also.

Notes for Ryburn
Alexander Keesling:
Ryburn was born
to Elbert and Florence Scott Keesling in the Rye Valley, at his
grandparents Scott's home. He was
raised and spent his younger days on his father's farm in Cedar Springs,Smyth
Co.,Va. He was fourteen years old
when his family moved north to Loudoun County, Virginia.
He was christened in the Fairview Church at Rural Retreat, in the
Methodist faith, a faith that remained strong in him to the day he passed away.
While farming and residing in Loudoun County, he was a faithful member
and Sunday School Superintendent for many years at the Purcellville Bethel
Methodist Church. Even in his early
90's, he was still active and respected in the Kernstown United Methodist
Church.
Following in the family tradition, he was a farmer for most of his adult
life. He was also a very
accomplished carpenter and worked in his later years, for his brother-in-laws
and son, at Duncan Brothers Tire Company in Winchester, Va.
He sold his last farm, on Rt. 522 East, outside of Winchester,Frederick
Co.,Va., on 9 November 1965, while I was serving in the U. S. Navy Submarine
Service in the Tonkin Gulf of Vietnam. They
moved down the road about one mile, to the home he and my Grandmother resided in
to the end of their days.

"Landon Duncan b. Fauquier (sic) Co. VA, March 26, 1786; moved to Stokes
Co. NC then back to Giles Co. VA; was a school teacher, one of pupils was John
B. Floyd who became Confederate Army General.
Landon Duncan married Sarah Kirk about 1812, became Baptist Minister,
later changed to what is now known as Disciples of Christ.
Rev. Duncan settled on tract of land south of Wolf Creek, of which Hare
Springs & Cemetery are a part of tract; land was deeded to his dau. Juliann
and son-in-law Joseph Hare. Joseph
fought in Civil War until he became ill; his son Hamilton at age 17 took his
place & was killed. He is buried in the Hare Cemetery.
Rev. Duncan, as well as being minister, was a tax collector of Giles Co.
for several years; according to Rev. Duncan's Wedding Book, now in possession of
Alta Yanson of Glendale, CA, Rev. Duncan performed 273 marriages between
1813-1859, he d. Sept. 22, 1867 at age 81".
The following passage which gives a physical description of Landon Duncan
comes from Chapter XV of the book "Memoirs of Alexander Campbell, Volume
II. (1869)": "In the same
year (1831), Mr. Bullard concluded to study medicine with Dr. D. J. Chapman,
near the Sulphur Springs, in Giles County. Here, amid some of the most
picturesque and romantic scenery of the American continent, near where Sinking
Creek, passing four miles under Thomas' Hill, empties itself into New River, and
where the latter, more than a hundred feet deep, washes the lofty and
magnificent cliffs of "Thomas' Hill," Mr. Bullard pursued his medical
studies, whilst religious thoughts still predominated. Earnestly desiring
baptism, but unable to obtain it at the hands of the Baptists, as he did not
sufficiently approve of their tenets to unite with them, he felt himself quite
isolated. That year, Landon Duncan, the assessor of the county, a man of grave
and thoughtful aspect, nearly six feet in height, with dark complexion, black
hair and eyes, and a firm, decided manner, happened to call in the discharge of
his official duties. Falling into a religious conversation with him, Mr. Bullard
freely communicated to him his feelings and his wishes, and though he frankly
expressed his dissent from some of the views held by Mr. Duncan, the latter
agreed to baptize him. Landon Duncan had, when young, united with the Baptists,
and was ordained August, 1813. After
some time, however, he adopted the sentiments of the "Christian
Connection," chiefly through the influence of Joseph Thomas."
The Giles County Census taken
August 23, 1850 for dwelling 521 lists the Reverend as Landon DUNCEN age 60 M
Farmer with $900 estate value and born in Virginia.
Residing with him is Sarah Duncen 59 F, over 20 cannot read or write,
born VA; Josephus Duncen 23 M VA; Erastus Duncen 20 M VA.
The Giles Census taken August 8, 1860 shows him and wife Sarah living
with their son-in-law Joseph Hare near Bell Point Post Office.
Their surname is spell DUNCUM in the census with Landon age 74 and wife
Sarah age 69, both born in Virginia.

? He married 33. Chloe Duncan.
33. Chloe Duncan160,161,
born Bet. 1755 - 1760 in Fauquier County, Virginia162; died
Bet. 1840 - 1850 in Giles County, Virginia163.
Notes for Chloe Duncan:
Chloe Duncan Kirk is believed to have been living with Landon and Sarah
Kirk Duncan according to the 1840 Giles County, Virginia Census.
She was listed in the 80 and 90 age bracket.
According to the "Landon Duncan Letters" at the Virginia Tech
Library, donated by George Duncan of Salt Lake City, Utah in December of 1997,
Alamander Duncan of Stokes County, North Carolina was his uncle.
This would make Chloe either a sister or sister-in-law to Alamander.
These same letters indicate that Charles Duncan [1761 - 1838] who married
Margaret "Peggy" Kirk, December 17, 1786 in Fauquier Co., VA and
resided in Giles County, VA till his death was a cousin.
This Charles was an uncle-in-law to Landon Duncan's wife Sarah Kirk.
There was a Chloe Duncan born to John Duncan, Jr., and Diana Bradford
circa 1757 in Fauquier County, Virginia. According
to the Bradford and other family records this Chloe Duncan did not have a
brother named Alamander. However,
she did have a brother Joseph who married Jemima Marr.
Joseph and Jemima Duncan had a son Alamander born in 1777, died c. 1820
in Greenup Co., KY. The
Alamander Duncan of Stokes County is recorded as being born in Virginia on
December 23, 1766, and having died in Fortville, Hancock Co., Indiana on October
7, 1856. Although the dates and
locations do not correlate the first name of Alamander does seem to appear in
this family lineage.
In Granville County, NC a John Duncan died in January 1811, leaving a
widow Chloe Duncan with a dower of 150 acres on Tabbs Creek of said county.
This John Duncan's second marriage was to Chloe Moore in 1793.
This marriage does not coincide with the birth years of Landon (1786) and
his brother Charles (1791). In the
settlement of the estate in February and March of 1813 there is no mentioned of
Landon and Charles Duncan. At this
time I have found no documented proof that these Chloe Duncan's were the mother
of Landon and Charles Duncan.
Three days before her marriage to Thomas Kirk, Chloe bequeath the
following to her son Landon: "This
Indenture and bargain of sale and delivery made and entered into this 12 Jan.
1814, between Chloe Duncan and Landon Duncan, both of Giles Co. VA, for $1 paid
by Landon Duncan, I the said Chloe Duncan have given, granted, ... to the said
Landon Duncan & his heirs forever the following species of property, viz,
one sorrell mare 12 years old and 15 hands high, one red cow & her calf, one
feather bed & all the furniture belonging to it, one pine chest with all
table & kitchen furniture consisting of basons, dishes, plates, knives &
forks & tea ware, pots, ovens & all castings with all and singular the
articles herein mentioned or in any wise appertaining thereunto, ... for their
proper use right & title, and I do hereby renounce all claim or claims to
all or any of the aforesaid property, likewise do warrent & defend said
property all & singular of them from the claim or claims of any person or
persons whatsoever. /s/ Chloe
Duncan." Wit. Jas.

County, Virginia.
ii. Charles
Duncan, Sr.164,165, born 06 April 1791 in Virginia (per 1850
Census); died 18 May 1863 in Stokes County, North Carolina166;
married (1) Sarah Covington Abt. 1811 in Stokes County, North Carolina; died
Bet. 1825 - 1826 in Stokes County, North Carolina; married (2) Anna Hill Ward 15

Notes for Charles
Duncan, Sr.:
Some Duncan family researchers believe that Rev. Charles Duncan of Stokes
County, North Carolina was a brother of Rev. Landon Duncan and son of Chloe
Duncan Kirk of Giles County, Virginia. At
this time I neither refute this or claim it to be fact.
I will only related the known facts that this assumption is based on.
A Narrative by Jack Winsor Hansen in the Virginia Genealogist Volume 9,
which is based mainly on exerts from the books, "History of Middle New
River Settlements" and "Giles County History".
It is written that Landon Duncan was born in Fauquier County, VA. and
grew up in Stokes County, NC. The
same is recorded in the books, "Heritage of Stokes Co., NC" and
"Early Families of Rockingham and Stokes Counties" for Rev. Charles
Duncan. This fact has never been
proven in regards to Fauquier or Stokes County court or church records.
Early census records only report that both men where born in Virginia.
It is written in the above publications that Rev. Landon Duncan converted
his brother Charles, a Baptist Minister, to the Order of New Lights [Disciples
of Christ Church]. It too, is
written that his brother was listed in the 1830 Giles census, this is not
factual.
There was a Charles Duncan living in Giles County in 1830, but it was not
the Rev. Charles Duncan of Stokes County. The
Giles County Charles Duncan, as Landon, were both married into the Kirk family.
The Charles Duncan of early Giles was married to a Margaret Kirk in
Fauquier County in 1786. She has
been proven to have been an aunt of Landon Duncan's wife, Sarah.
This Charles was a Revolutionary War soldier, but never a Baptist
Minister. He is believed to have
migrated to Giles along with John Kirk from Stokes County, NC., during the early
1800's. At one time, it was believed
that this Charles was the father of Landon, but has since been proven many times
over, otherwise. According to the
"Landon Duncan Letters" at Virginia Tech, he is referred to as cousin
Charles. In the letters Alamander
and Susannah (Vaughn) Duncan of Stokes Co., NC, are referred to as uncle and
aunt.
The only proven facts linking the ministers Charles and Landon, are known
letters written by the two brothers and Charles named one of his sons, Landon.
These two men are the only Duncan ancestors known at this time to have
had the name "Landon" used among their descendants.
The following profile of Rev. Charles Duncan, Sr. and Charles Duncan, Jr.
are based on county records and the genealogical records of Mary Ann Dobson,
Placerville, CA., Daryl Limpus, Archie, MO., and Vickie Boatwright, Mayodan,
NC.:
Charles Duncan, Sr., was born about 1790 in VA.
The 1850 census gives his age and birthplace.
His parentage and exact birthplace is unknown and will be very difficult
to locate. There are Duncans in a
number of counties in VA in the late 18th century and there are no known clues
to place Charles Duncan's origins in any particular county.
The 1810 and 1820 census for Stokes Co. NC shows two other Duncan
families, Alexander and Thomas. How
they were related, if they were, is not known.
There are two marriage records for Alexander Duncan in Stokes Co: to
Sussanah Vaughn on January 11, 1809, and Saley Reddick on November 16, 1836.
Charles Duncan shows up in the census for the first time in 1820.
He is listed with four boys under ten and one girl under ten.
He married Sarah Covington between 1811 and 1814.
The date on his marriage bond is not filled out.
It shows 181_. The marriage
probably took place in the early part of this period to have five children by
1820.
Charles was married secondly to Anna Hill Ward on August 15, 1828.
Sarah probably died shortly before this.
Charles Jr. was born on April 24, 1824.
Charles lived near the Stokes and Rockingham Co. line on the South Beaver
Island Creek. He farmed and was a
Missionary Baptist minister. At the
time of his death he owned 1200 acres, a number of slaves, and other personal
property. He owned ten slaves:
Jerry, Lewis, Sam, Burrell, Polly, Jane, Vick, Jim, Manda, and Bill.
Charles died sometime in 1862. The
exact date is not known.

The following obituary appeared in the Biblical Recorder (the North
Carolina State Baptist newsletter) on Aug 26, 1863: Died in Stokes Co., NC, on
the 18th of May, Rev. Charles Duncan, in the 72nd year of his age. Brother
Duncan became a Christian in advanced life and for nearly fifteen years had been
a minister of the Gospel. Though called away suddenly without an hours warning,
he was ready, for his lamp was always trimmed and burning.--He was universally
esteemed and his loss will be seriously felt in his community. The aged soldier
has fought his last battle and has gone home to rest. May his children try to
imitate the example of their pious father and give their hearts to that Saviour
whom he loved and for whose cause he labored.
