See Mary Ann Dobson's excellent Duncan web site.

He is supposed to be son of Robert Duncan, but that's doubtful.
from this RootsWeb entry:
The following is from "Goodspeeds, "Biography and Historical Memoirs of Mississippi", 1891, publ. in the Botetourt Co., Va. records.
Nancy Ross married 2nd, on 1 Dec 1812, Greene Co., Tenn., Benjamin Duncan...
Benjamin was a son of Jeremiah Duncan and wife, Rebekah...
Jeremiah was one of 15 children of Robert Duncan, born in Scotland, and wrote his Will on March 29, 1787...

[The above will is in Botetourt Co VA Will Book A p255-257. It does not name the 5 oldest sons.]

The 1785 enumeration of Botetourt Co VA shows John Dunkin (2 people) and Robert Dunkin (7 people).
