Vol.2, pg.518-519: SILAS DUNCAN. One of the best known citizens of Scott Township is Silas Duncan, who for many years has lived in Kosciusko County and is still vigorously and diligently attending to his duties as a farmer and stock raiser on his place four and three-quarter miles southeast of Nappanee.
Mr. Duncan was born in Putnam County, Missouri, June 7, 1855, a son of Silas and Isabelle (Cook) Duncan. He was the youngest of four children and his birth occurred after his father's death. He has a sister still living, Lucinda, widow of James Stackhouse of Bourbon, Indiana.
In April, 1863, Mrs. Silas Duncan, the widowed mother, came to Kosciusko County with her children and settled in Scott Township, where she lived until her death. She had married John M. Miller in Missouri, and they traveled overland from that state to Indiana in a wagon. The father of Silas Duncan, Sr., was an Englishman and his wife was an Irish woman. During the journey from Missouri to Indiana, John M. Miller and family ... Mr. and Mrs. Miller had one daughter, Anna B., wife of William H. Clinger, of Warsaw.
Silas Duncan, Jr., was only eight years of age when he came with his mother to Scott Township. He lived at home until he was sixteen and then started out for himself, having some knowledge of farming and a fair district school education. On June 19, 1881, he married Mary A. Harlan, who was born in Prairie Township of this county August 24, 1854, daughter of William and Eliza (Boggess) Harlan. She was reared in Van Buren Township and attended the district schools there. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Duncan settled on her mother's farm and lived there for some years and then moved to Plain Township, and from there in 1906 came to their present place of fifty acres in Scott Township. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan are members of the Church of God and in politics he is a republican. Their children are: Morris, who is married and lives in Van Buren Township; William H., whose home is west of Warsaw; Charles L., deceased; Nora I., wife of William Cain of Scott Township; Maude, wife of James McCubbin of Leesburg; and Caroline, unmarried and at home.
Mrs. Duncan is, as already noted, a daughter of William and Eliza Harlan. Her great-grandfather, George Harlan, was a native of Virginia, moved in pioneer times to Kentucky, and in 1806 left that state and went to Ohio, and died near Dayton. He had eleven children, seven sons and four daughters, James, Samuel, John M., George, William, Elijah, Jacob, Elizabeth, Sarah, Nancy and Mary Jane.
Samuel Harlan, grandfather of Mrs. Duncan, was born January 11, 1800, and died December 22, 1842. On coming to Indiana he first settled in Wayne County and afterwards in Henry County. His second wife was Eliza Ardney, and they had five children. William Harlan, father of Mrs. Duncan, was born in Henry County, Indiana, and in 1852 married Eliza Boggess. By that marriage there were four children: Jerome; Mary, Mrs. Duncan; Sophronia, wife of John Estep; and George. Mrs. Duncan's mother died in 1859 and her father then married Caroline Raker, who bore him four children.
