1910 "Memoirs of Lucas County & City of Toledo [Ohio]" by ed. by Harvey A. Scribner; pub. Madison, Wis. : Western Historical Association (FHL book 977.112 H2s; SLC 9/2007)
      Vol.2, pg.635-636: Francis A. Duncan, founder and head of the Duncan Forge Company, of Toledo, was born in London, England, Oct. 3, 1869, a son of Frank and Margaret (Burns) Duncan, the former a native of England and the latter of Scotland. The father made the forge business his chief occupation and for a number of years owned and operated a foundry in Liverpool, in his native land. Francis A., to whom this sketch is dedicated, is the seventh in order of birth of the sixteen children born to the parents, and the only member of the family who came to America. One of the sons, William, served in the British army. Francis A. Duncan's early opportunities to acquire an education were very limited, ... by self-study he has supplemented the meager educational training of his boyhood days ... at an early age he learned the forge business in his father's foundry, and, in 1889, when in his twentieth year, he emigrated to Medicine Hat, Assiniboia, Canada, where he spent his first winter in America as a blacksmith in the employ of the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company, after which he went to work for the Northwestern Coal & Navigation Company, with which he remained for several years. In 1899, he removed to Seattle [King Co.], Wash., and embarked in the machine foundry business on his own account, and, in 1903, he came to North Baltimore, Wood county, Ohio, engaging in the foundry business. (MAD: he followed trades in several cities, not copied) In 1905 he took up his residence in Toledo ... He has been twice married. On July 2, 1892, was solemnized his marriage to Miss Florence Stackhouse, and after her death he married, Nov. 10, 1897, Miss Anna Kaiser. He has four children: two sons -- Frederick Francis and George A. -- by his first wife; and two -- Frank and a small babe -- by his present wife. ...
