AL Confederate Pension Applications, in AL State Archives, Duke - Dunn (FHL film 1,502,781)
MAD: Did not extract all pension applications for the same person if they gave no other genealogy information. Documents were extracted in order on film. Did not usually copy reason for pension request, which was frequently old age or rheumatism or feebleness; did not always copy witnesses names, which sometimes only said they knew the applicant was of good character and in need of the pension. "Cavalry" was frequently abbreviated "Calv" and spelled "Calvary." Did not usually copy the schedule of property unless it listed land. The complete pension papers should be rechecked individually, following is very brief extract of contents.
DUNCAN, A.G., DeKalb Co. AL, Private Co.F, Farril's Bty. Application 24 March 1896, A.G. Duncan, DeKalb Co. AL, Soldier in Co.F of Terrills Battery, became afflicted with rheumatism, nearly 70 years old, P.O. Fort Payne, AL, farmer, no property. Appl. 20 March 1893, DeKalb Co., Ansel G.

1888 "Northern AL, Historical & Biographical" pub. by Smith & DeLand (from Bill Brown 9/1984 and Donna Little 8/1982; FHL film 934,818 item 2 and 1,026,490 item 3)
Pg.503-4: ROBERT HUSTON DUNCAN was born at Kingston [Roane Co.], TN, October 19, 1853, and is a son of Robert and Nancy K. (Liggett) Duncan.
Mr. Duncan spent the first thirteen years of his life at his native place, and came with his parents to DeKalb County in 1866. From there the family moved to Dade Co. GA, whence they returned to Alabama ten years later and located at Fort Payne. In 1870 young Duncan was employed as a clerk in a mercantile establishment, and later on he was with the Roane Iron Company, at Chattanooga, Tenn. He next returned to Fort Payne, and was engaged in the book business, which he pursued for some years, and which he continued afterward at Gadsden. He located at Gadsden in 1874, and was afterward on the road as a drummer for an Atlanta copying house.
His father having died in 1885 he took charge of his business, which required his attention thereafter for some time. He was married December 7, 1885, to Miss Anna Vincent, of Etowah County.
Mr. Duncan comes from one of the old and respected families of the South. As a citizen and a business man he has always held the esteem and confidence of the people.
