Pg.610: (Missoula Co.) ASA L.

In the agnatic (MAD: male or father's) line his ancestry traces to Scottish origin, the Duncans having figured conspicuously in the history of bonnie Scotland. Mr. Duncan was born at Haleford, Franklin Co. VA, on September 10, 1861, his parents being William E. and Sarah E. (Holland) Duncan, both natives of Virginia. For many years the father was a prominent factor in the educational field, receiving his education in Columbian University at Washington D.C., and thereafter establishing an academy at Duncan Ford, where he still maintains his home, although retired from active labors by advanced age. His ancestors located in Virginia prior to the Revolution, in which members of the family were active participants. Prof. William E. and Sarah E. Duncan were parents of seven children, Asa L. being the only son living and the only representative of the family in Montana.
Asa L. Duncan was reared and educated in Virginia, eventually being graduated as a member of the class of 1883 in the VA Military Institute at Lexington, and remaining there until 1885 as instructor ... (graduated from law department in 1886 & admitted to VA bar). In 1892 Mr. Duncan came to Montana, ... Spanish War ... On July 16, 1900, in Tacoma, Wash., Mr. Duncan was united in marriage to Miss Gertrude M. Hathaway, who was born at Frederickton, N.B., .... (apparently no children).
