NOTE: Duncan-2200 and Duncan-2211 should not be merged as they are two individuals - both are daughters of Marshall Duncan and Mary Ann Durron. Both were named in Marshall's Will -- One named as Maryann and the other named Ann.

No original source records have been located to confirm birth or marriage records. It appears that some erroneous information may have been published, and perhaps republished/reported, making the “actual facts” obscure . These dates need further research/clarification before taken as "fact".

-- Name Variations Duncan - Dunkin - Doncom
-- No Source Records for Ann have been located, other than being named in (her Father) Marshall Duncan's will probated in 1777.
