Biography

Seth Duncan, son of John Duncan and Elizabeth Holtzclaw, was born about 1765 Fauquier Co. Virginia.[1]


Seth married Polly Kerby (Kirby) January 21 1798 in Montgomery Co. Virginia. [2]

Seth and Polly appear in the 1810 to 1830 Census records for Montgomery Co Virginia. It appears they had one son born about 1785-1794 and one daughter born about 1805-1810.

Seth died after 1830, probably in Montgomery Co. Virginia. No will records located. Seth does not appear on the 1840 Census.

Duncan-522 and Duncan-2707 are not ready to be merged because: I'm not sure there is enough evidence to say that these are the same people. Same name and a birth date near each other are not enough.
