Henry Twp: Early Settlers. Peter Duncan was probably the first settler in what is now Henry township. In the year 1839 he located nearly 2 miles north of he Osage, on the east side of the creek which bears his name (SE quarter section 5), where was afterward Duncan Creek postoffice. Here he resided for many years, at last selling the land to James Lawrence. During the Civil War he was a confederate soldier, and at the battle of Prairie Grove, AR, was badly wounded by a saber stroke; from the effects of this wound he never entirely recovered. (pg.600, 1911 Hist.) ... Mr. Duncan is yet living, a resident of Bates Co. (pg.410, 1887 Hist.)
William Barnes came from Jackson Co. in about 1839 and settled on Duncan's creek, in section 8, south of Peter Duncan's claim. Barnes was the contractor that constructed the US military road from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Scott. While executing his contact he visited this country on a hunting expedition and was so delighted with it that he determined to make it his home. He died in Kansas many years ago. (pg.600, 1911 Hist.; pg.410, 1887 Hist.)
(MAD: Kay D. Hampton files quote pg.409, 1888 History of Nevada, Vernon Co. MO, pub. by Brown & Co., that William Barnes was step-father of Peter Duncan; this text is not in the 1887 History at the FHL)
