- It appears "the Elder" is being used in the same context as "Sr.", rather than him being a church Elder. There was another John Duke in Brunswick County during this era.
- This individual, John Duke, has been proven through yDNA study at ftDNA to be part of group 2, aka, Isle of Wight Co VA Duke Family, not the Henrico Co VA Duke Family as previous published documents showed. As of 08/19/2020, the earliest known Isle of Wight Co VA ancestor established is John Duke Sr..
- John Duke the Elder died in Warren County, NC in 1784. His will was written on January 10, naming his wife Ruth, his sons Simon, Joel, and Benjamin, and his daughter Tabitha Parrish. EDB The Duke Family p. 377.
