Pg.249-50: Georgia. ALEXANDER B. DUNCAN, M.D., of Leesburg, GA, was born in Lee Co. GA February 10, 1849. He is the son of Alexander B. and Ellen A. (Holland) Duncan.

The mother of the subject was born in Jasper Co. GA in about 1823 and died in 1883. She bore her husband two children, viz.: Alexander B. and Mary E.
Alexander B. was reared in Lee County and was educated at Albany and Mercer University.

Pg.634: George Washington Duncan, is engaged in the real-estate and loan business in the city of Macon [Bibb Co. GA], where he controls a large and prosperous enterprise, and is also land and industrial agent for the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic railroad; born in Greenville, Greenville Co. SC Feb. 22, 1852, a son of Perry Emory and Mary Anne (Hill) Duncan, the former born in Greenville, SC, in 1800, and the latter in Wilkes Co. GA in 1814. The Duncan family is of staunch old Scottish stock, the great-grandfather of the subject having immigrated to America from the "land of hills and heather" and settled in VA, whence he later removed to SC. His son, the grandfather of George Washington Duncan, was a loyal soldier in the Continental line in the war of the Revolution, having taken part in the battles of Cowpens, SC, King's Mountain, NC, and other engagements. Perry E. Duncan amassed a very considerable fortune, owned a fine plantation about 5 miles northwest of Greenville, and was also the owner of a large number of slaves prior to the Civil war. He also had a large cotton plantation 7 miles below Albany, Dougherty Co. GA, where the family passed the winter seasons. He was a Union man when the matter of secession was brought up, but when SC seceded he gave to the state his unqualified support, having given his signature to the ordinance of secession. His advanced age rendered him ineligible for active service in the army of the Confederacy, but three of his sons were loyal and faithful soldiers in the Confederate ranks, in the Army of North Virginia, and participated in the first battle of Bull Run. ... One of the number, Col. Robert Perry Duncan, was promoted chief of staff to Gen. R.H. Anderson of SC. ... The parents of George W. Duncan died while he was still a boy. His early education was secured at West Point, MS, and Wilkes Co. GA, after which he continued his studies in Oglethorpe university near Milledgeville. ... On Jan. 23, 1884, was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Duncan to Miss Carrie Tracy Johnston, dau. of Col. William B. and Annie Clarke (Tracy) Johnston of Macon. Concerning the children of this union, the following brief data are given: George W., Jr., was born in 1886 and is now attending the US naval academy at Annapolis, MD; Anne Tracy was born in 1888 and is now a student in Mrs. LeFebvre's school, Baltimore, MD; John Baxter was born in 1890 and graduated in the high school of Macon as a member of the class of 1906, is to attend Mercer university and later the medical department of Johns Hopkins university at Baltimore.

Part II, Biographical, pg.89-92: WILLIAM A. DUNCAN, Ph.D. - William A. Duncan came to Syracuse sometime previous to 1840, when it was but a hamlet. He had been trained from youth as a workman on the granite buildings of Aberdeen, Scotland, and was a finely educated builder and master mechanic. He was the son of Alexander Duncan, a man well known in his day as an educator, and one of the best educated men on Dee side. With him came his young wife Mary, the daughter of James Wood, of Airlie, Scotland. He located here because he saw the great possibilities of the city, because of its nearness to the limestone quarries. ... Syracuse owes much of its admiration for the substantial and the beautiful in architecture to his early presence. Their children were William A.; James D.; Joseph M., President of the Duncan Salt Company, Silver Springs; John H., Superintendent of the American Dairy Salt-Mills, Syracuse; Mrs. F. Morgan; and Mrs. E. Tankie. Memorial windows in memory of William and Mary Duncan have been placed in the First Ward Presbyterian church and in the Good Will Congregational church of this city. ...
Dr. William A. Duncan, eldest son of William and Mary Duncan, was born at Oswego, N.Y., in 1837, and while in infancy came to Syracuse, where he has since resided, and during his mature years has been one of its most active, useful, and respected citizens. ...

His greatest achievements have been in the religious field. ... elected President of the New York State Sunday-School Convention held in Saratoga, N.Y., in June 1891, and has been for eleven years Chairman of its Executive Committee ... Dr. Duncan is the creator of a branch Chautauqua at Albany, Ga. ... Dr. Duncan has been hailed as a missionary of Northern good-will, and his Georgia visits are occasions of public rejoicing. He owns a cotton and fruit plantation of 3,500 acres twelve miles from Albany, which is in Dougherty county, 200 miles south of Atlanta. ...
