See Mary Ann Dobson's excellent Duncan web site.

He is supposed to be son of Robert Duncan, but that's doubtful.

from a tree that no longer exists:

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...

Wife, Cettron.
5 older sons: George, Jeremiah, Amos, Benjamin, David.
5 older daughters: "Each to get 5 shillings: Margaret, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Isabel, Janet.
5 minor aged children: Mary, Eastair, Rachel, Robert, Nancy. "Robert to be apprenticed as a blacksmith".

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