"The pastor and the church, or, Rev. John H. Duryea, D.D., and the Second Reformed Church at Paterson, N.J." (Passaic Co.) by Theodore W. Wells; pub. New York: Board of Publication of the Reformed Church in America, 1896, 199 pgs. (LH2089, HeritageQuest images 5/2007; FHL fiche 6,052,270)
      Pg.152: Marriages: 1835, Rev. John A. Liddell, Pastor: Mar. 7, John Ritchie to Grace Duncan.
 

"Preakness and the Preakness Reformed Church, Passaic County, New Jersey : a history 1695-1902 : with genealogical notes, the records of the church and tombstone inscriptions" by George Warne Labaw; pub. New York: Board of Publication of the Reformed Church in America, 1902, 352 pgs. (LH2081, HeritageQuest images 5/2007; FHL film 1,485,276)
      Pg.101: Robert Martin, Sr., father of the late Robert Martin, (d. July 20, 1902), came to Preaknness (MAD: as spelled) about 1841. He first lived near where David F. Duncan's present tenement house stands, then for a while where August Dotterweich now lives, until he bought where the family has since lived, near Mr. Duncan's. ...
            David F. Duncan, b. 1846, in Paterson, who married September 7, 1868, Elizabeth Graham, of North Haledon, came to Preakness on February 2, 1870, and located where he has since remained, on what was then the John Hinchman place, but which before that had been known as the William H. Hopper place. The John Hinchman here referred to was the son of Robert, the brother of James, and the son of John S. Hinchman, M.D., of Vernon. David F. Duncan has but one child, Linnie Jane, who, May 24, 1898, married Charles Frederick Day, son of J. Frank Day, formerly of Preakness, now of Brooklyn, and who, with his wife and two children, now makes his home with his father-in-law.
            Mr. Duncan's father was James Duncan, who came to America from Scotland, and his mother was Jane Torbet, a sister of Hon. Robert M. Torbet, and daughter of Francis Torbet. He has been and is much interested in educational matters, first in the district and latterly in the township, having been generally school trustee, but now one of the Board of Education for Wayne Township.
      Pg.104: Another brother, Doctor Day, had taught school in Upper Preakness before J. Frank taught. His home has been in Brooklyn for many years. The father of these brothers and of at least two daughters was Anthony L. Day, of Stockholm, N.J. Charles Frederick Day, son of J. Frank, married David F. Duncan's only daughter. (MAD: not named)
