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 Day at Enon Church
The 15th Anniversary of the Great Family Reunion Celebrated Thursday
Peter and Margaret Duncan, husband and wife of Scotch descent, migrated to Georgia from Edgefield, South Carolina, in the early part of the last century and settled in what is now Coweta County before any county --- --- and became --- --- while the land was occupied by the Creek indians. The home of this pair of pioneer Duncans flourished. Six sons and one daughter blessed their union. The names of the sons in order of their ages are: Matthew, John, Elias, Peter, Stephen, Wesley, who became the ancestors of the numerous descendants who meet in his honor annually at the church he loved and honored with his membership so many years. The only sister of Wesley was called Crecy, probably a pet name for Lucretia, a classical feminine name. She may have been called after the famous Battle of Crecy. Her ancestors came down a line of fighters and some of them may have had part in the great battle where on the 26th of August, 1346, the English Edward III with 40,000 English soldiers defeated and almost destroyed the French army of 100,000 men, according to Froissart, a French authority. I think it was likely that some old Scotish warrior of the Duncan clan fought in this battle and to keep its' memory green gave the battle name to a daughter ... whatever the origin of her name --- --- and she won and married a man named Reason Mobley who became a Baptist preacher. Crecy and her husband lived and died and were buried in Coweta County where also were buried one brother and her mother. Her funeral was preached one Sunday by Rev. John M. Key.
The Duncans are a long lived people of strong and sturdy stock, Matthew lived to be 96; John 93. The others of the family died at ages varying between 80 and 90. Wesley was 84. The children of Wesley Duncan --- --- Fairby, Caroline Brock were Margaret Mayfield, Moses Allen, 78 and living, (William) Peter, Julie, Sara Smith, Emily Mayfield. John Henry died in infancy by his second wife, Nancy Thompson. Sam, Tom, J.W., Joe, Charlie, Alma who married William Thompson, a substantial farmer of this county. These children of Wesley Duncan and their descendants continue to increase in number and influence in Campbell and surrounding counties. They are peaceful, law-abiding, home loving people engaged in farming, following in the footsteps of their ancestors --- --- some of the production of real wealth and their increasing human happiness. They, like the good man whose memory we celebrate, live honorably, harm no one, and render to every man his due as he did so that he and they exemplified and justified the best traditions of the common law.
The barrels of lemonade, free as the air, a sumptuous feast of excellent edibles were drawing features of the Duncan family reunion at Enon. The good sermon on the conversion of St. Paul was delivered by Rev. Joseph Duncan. There was plenty of fine music by the young people and speeches were made by Colonel Oscar Barker, Mr. J.W. Mason and Mr. Ed Nolen. The Duncans are an anti-race, anti-suicide people and the families are generally large; for example, the late --- --- Peter Duncan was the father of 16 children, 12 of whom are living.
