He received a fair education in the common schools and afterward attended some time at Union Academy, Lincoln County, where he took a thorough course in surveying. At the breaking out of the war he enlisted in Company G, Eighth Tennessee Mulberry Riflemen, under Capt. William L. MOORE, but was afterward transferred to CARNE's Battery. He was in the battles of Perryville, KY, and Chickamauga, and was captured at the latter place and sent to Camp Morton, IN, where, Feb 1864, he scaled the prison walls, under the cover of darkness, and without being seen, succeeded in making his escape. He was afterward captured again in Giles County, and made his escape once more. In 1866 he went to Bethel, Lincoln County, and married Jane C. CRAIG, but immediately returned to his father's where he remained six years. This union resulted in the birth of nine children, eight of whom are living: Bessie C., Margaret E., Myrtle, Ruby, Henry N., Alfred F., Thomas D. and James B. F. In 1876 he was elected surveyor of Lincoln County for a term of two years. In 1885 he moved to the farm where he now resides. He is Independent in politics, is a Mason and an Odd Fellow, and he and wife are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. His father, H. C. DUFF, was born in South Carolina, 28 Aug 1808, and in 1845 immigrated to Lincoln County, where he purchased seventy-six acres in the Fifth District, and where he located and still resides.
