            The Duncan family for several centuries has been one of the foremost in Scotland, and is believed to be of ancient Norse origin. Centuries before the adoption of surnames, Duncan was popular with the Scotch as a baptismal name, and Scottish history records two kings of the name in the eleventh century, Duncan I and Duncan II. Duncan I is chiefly known through his connection with Macbeth, which has been immortalized by Shakespeare. The feud between these two princes originated probably over succession to the throne; its details, however, are obscure, and the only fact which can be ascertained with any authenticity is that Duncan was slain by Macbeth in 1040. The family has long been prominent in Forfareshire, Scotland, and holds the earldoms of Camperdown, Gleneagles and Lundie, the viscountcy of Duncan and the barony of Lundie. Numerous families of the tide of emigration to the North of Ireland in the seventeenth century, and their descendants dissatisfied with conditions civil and religious in Ulster and the northern counties in the beginning and middle decades of the eighteenth century, sought the American Colonies, and became the founders here of families which have figured prominently in New England history. William Duncan, founder of the family herein under consideration, was a Scotchman of family, and of education. The exact circumstances attending his coming to New England are not known. He became the progenitor of a numerous family, whose sons have represented the highest type of useful manhood, and have figured prominently in the affairs of the communities in which they have resided.
            (I) William Duncan, first of the direct line of whom we have definite information, was born in Dudley, Mass., June 4, 1784. He married Annice Morse, at Charlton, Mass., May 3, 1808.

(See Lakin IV). They were the parents of the following children: 1. Harlan Page, born in North Brookfield, Mass., Jan. 31, 1837; married Huldah Ann Strong, April 13, 1859. 2.

      Pg.5: The LAKIN Line. ... The first entry of the name Lakin in American Colonial registers occurs in the year 1747, in the records of the town of Pepperell, Mass., Book "B," page 61. Robertson Lakin, the first of the name to emigrate to America, settled in Pepperell, at a date unknown, and became the founder there of a family which has since figured prominently in local affairs. Tryphosa Lakin, who became the wife of Charles Duncan, and mother of Mrs. Albert Gallatin Sprague, Jr., and Mrs. Theodore C. Bates, was a descendant in the fourth generation of Robertson Lakin, founder of the family in America. .... (IV) Tryphosa Lakin, daughter of Nathaniel and Hannah (Shipley) Lakin, was born in Paxton, Mass., July 15, 1811. She married Charles Duncan, at Paxton, Mass., May 11, 1836, and died in Worcester, Mass., December 31, 1874. (See Duncan II)
