Hello, all you listers, in the five lists to which I have sent this.
I am seeking firm (hopefully, proveable) tie-ins between two sets of DUKE
families, and I have not yet found the best one!

Thomas DUKE of Fairfield Dist., SC had at least two sons.   The ones I am
interested in are Robert, b. ca 1880, and his brother, Jeremiah, whose year
or date of birth I need, but do not have.

These two sons (apparently) moved from SC to Perry Co., Alabama, in the time
frame after 1812-'15, and Robert was married in SC in 1820,  so he may have
arrived in AL. later than Jeremiah.

Jeremiah may be the same man as Jeremiah K. DUKE, who married Caroline
WOOLLEY in Jan., 1836, and was deceased by mid-1842.    I need ratification
of his (their, if there really were two Jeremiah's) date of birth, place of
birth, and date and place of death.   It is most likely he died in Perry
Co., because, by the spring-time in 1843, his widow, Caroline, was
re-married to a man named Alexander WORRELL, there.

Jeremiah and Caroline had two children, the older was Rachel Ann Shunsey
DUKE (dob unknown) and Lovick Sherrod DUKE, b. 7-10-
1840.    Lovick Is my GGF, and Jeremiah is my GGGF.

If Jeremiah K., husband of Caroline is also Jeremiah, son of Thomas of
Fairfield, SC, that fact (not yet proven) will resolve the question of
having one (or two) 'Jeremiah' men.

Naturally, once these questions are resolved fairly well, I need to find the
parents of Thomas, IF the Jeremiah names really do identify only one man!!
But if the facts prove there are two men with similar names, then where did
the 'other' Jeremiah K. originate??

Any help in clearing this mystery off the board is most welcome, and greatly
appreciated!!   Can you contribute any added information to the data I have
shown in this run-down???

Thank you.     Joe DUKE
