"Rev. W.A. Duncan" small 8-page booklet, probably a tribute published by the Methodist Church soon after his death (perhaps from Rowena Lawson for the Duncan Surname Association 1992, MAD's extract)
Rev. W.A. Duncan is dead. His death occurred 17 Oct. 1907. He was born on the ground which is now known as Lumpkin Co. GA, near the old Cherokee town of Dahlanegah, in 1823, and was consequently at the day of his death, 84 years of age. He was of Indian extraction, being a mixture of Highland Scotch and Cherokee ... Age 12, when his parents & rest of the Cherokees were expelled from their hereditary abode east of the Mississippi, he was transported to the Indian Territory ... in 1834. In 1844, Wat Duncan was converted and became a Christian ... Methodist. Taught at Indian school located at a Methodist missionary station, which at present constitutes the northeastern portion of state of Kansas. Became Methodist preacher. From 1845 to 1861, he was a Methodist circuit rider; about 1856 he took to wife a lady of Cherokee extraction named Martha Bell; two sons and one daughter, all of whom including the mother died from consumption. His second marriage was to Martha Johnson, they had one son and three daus., namely John Ellis, Mae, Emma and Jennie, all of whom still survive except the last, together with the mother. He married third an accomplished widow lady of Philadelphia named Mrs. Kate "Caled"; no children; she survivied him. They moved to TX when the Civil War began to devastate the homes of the Cherokee nation; returned to Cherokee nation at close of war. (MAD: Place of death not given; Walter Adair Duncan, son of John Duncan and Elizabeth Abercrombie, grandson of Young Charles Gordon Duncan.)
