Pg.185-187: Visit of the Furieuse. One of the [adventures] came near resulting in the destruction of Camden harbor village. ... In the latter part of October of this year, Maj. Noah Miller left Northport in a "reach-boat" with the following armed crew: West Drinkwater, Kingsbury Duncan, Jonathan Clark, Samuel Duncan and John Duncan, to cruise in Belfast Bay and vicinity for the purpose of preventing supplies being carried to the British at Castine. Although they cruised all night between Belfast and Castine, they captured nothing. In the morning (Nov. 1, 1814) they saw a British sloop at the northern end of Long Island, making for Castine, and started in pursuit, overtaking her at Turtle Head. ... Our people were very apprehensive of trouble with the enemy on account of the seizing of the sloop and its valuable cargo and the selectmen would not allow the vessel to remain in our harbor after the cargo had been removed. Anxious to get rid of it, before the British authorities should learn of its disposition, the town officers hired Jonathan Clark, Samuel Duncan and Kingsbury Duncan, to take the vessel around to the St.Georges river and hide it, paying them $5.00 each for the service. ...

Pg.155-156: JAMES DUNCAN came here as early as 1800, or not long after. He was a native of Massachusetts, and was born in 1779. His wife was the eldest daughter of Captain Benjamin Stockbridge, whom we have noticed (MAD: not copied), and he settled at what is now known as Green's Landing. There had been but one person who had lived there, who was named Grover, who had left shortly after Mr. Duncan went there, so that we may consider the latter as its first permanent settler, .... He was engaged for a while in the manufacture of salt from sea-water, ... and was engaged in chopping wood and probably did more of that than any other man in the town ever did. He took up quite an extensive tract of land and afterward built another house about two hundred rods from the shore, where he spent nearly all the rest of his life. His wife dying, he, after her death, resided with his children, and died in the family of his son in Rockland, when nearly ninety years of age. The children of the family were: James, the son just referred to, now dead; Mary, the wife of Mr. Robert Barter, who resided on what is known as Wreck Island, within the limits of the town as established in 1868; Elizabeth, the wife of Captain John Barter, of Isle au Haut; Abigail, who was first the wife of Mr. John Sellers, who was lost in Chaleur Bay with Captain David Colby, in the schooner Georgiana of Castine, in 1839: afterward she was the wife of Mr. Stephen Colby; and Sarah, the wife of Mr. Levi Weed, who several years ago removed to Rockland, and afterward to South Thomaston, where he died not many years ago. All the daughters are living except the wife of Mr. Colby. Mr. Duncan was for several years before his death afflicted with shaking palsy and was always a hard-working man. (MAD: text in books published in 1886 and 1905 is identical, although paging is different) (MAD: Rockland, Knox Co. ME)
