Pg.396: The following recital appeared in the "Times" of Zanesville ... that before the Trading Post was inaugurated in 1794, ... about the year 1790, there came from VA a man by the name of Duncan, whose occupation was to hunt wild game, either with a gun or traps. He was a man who desired to be secluded and alone, ... came to the vicinity of the falls of the Muskingum river, nine miles below Zanesville, before that locality was inhabited by any white people. The Indians had one or two villages near by, and for a time Duncan carried on a little trade or barter with them, and was friendly. This continued for perhaps 4 years, when he discovered his traps had been meddled with and some of his game stolen. (he kept watch, discovered an Indian taking game from his traps, shot him, shot other Indians who meddled with his rights; they were enraged and shot at him with arrows but did not seem to injure him.) Duncan's place of abode was unknown to them, (discovered how he crossed the river and where). On the fatal night, Indian warriors lay in ambush, when he was half across, the Indians struck him and he fell dead in the middle of the river; next day his body was found about 1/2 mile below on a gravelly ripple. This point was given the name of "Dead Man's Ripple" from the fact that the dead body of Duncan was found on it, and the falls of the river at that point were called "Duncan's Falls," because it was there that Duncan fell. After the death of Duncan, his habitation was discovered to be a cave or dugout ... about 1/2 mile below the falls. ... his gun found, a new stock, now owned by Col. Z.M. Chandler. ... (no first name given for Duncan).
