War of 1812 Bounty Land Application of George A. Duncan; and Pension Application of his widow Mary Duncan; W.O. 20399, W.C. 25533 (extract of about 20 pages from Sue Harris 8/2002, comments hers; also indexed as Bounty Land 79678-40-50, 58517-120-55)
On 18 Aug 1852, George A. Duncan, aged 59 years, of Henry Co. TN, applied for bounty land on service in War of 1812; was a Pvt in company commanded by Capt. George Booker, 4th Regt of VA Volunteers commanded by Col. Counts (?). Enlisted for 6 months in Dec. 1812, discharged at Norfolk, VA, 10 April 1813. Received 40 acres bounty land. On 21 May 1855, George A. Duncan, aged 62, of Henry Co., TN, applied for more bounty land under act of March 3, 1855. He had legally transferred his previously awarded 40-acre bounty land. He seems to have been given 120 acres #20756. These papers are confusing! His enlistment & discharge dates don't agree on all the papers, and Capt. Booker's first name is also given as Marshall on some.
On 8 Aug 1878, Mary Duncan, maiden name Mary Poe, aged 76, of Conyersville, Henry Co., TN, widow of George A. Duncan, filed for bounty land under revised statute of 9 March 1878. She married him on 10 July 1838 in Wilson Co., TN, service performed by John L. Dillard, minister D.D. States her husband died at Conyersville on 6 July 1866. She gives power of attorney to R.P. Cole of Paris, Henry Co. Robert Corley, aged 75, and R.K. Ward, aged 36, of Henry Co. swear for her. They had known George A. Duncan & Mary for 50 years or more, since before their marriage. Proof of marriage license had to be obtained from Wilson Co. and it was part of the papers. Mary (Poe) and George had two children, Elizabeth, who would have been 39 if living, but was deceased before 12 Apr 1879, according to Mary; and Mary F. Ward, wife of Capt. R.K. Ward. On 5 May 1879, R.K. Ward testified that he is 37 years old, son-in-law of George & Mary, & has known them since 1861. His wife Mary is 36 years old. Mary received $8 month on 12 June 1879, dating from March 9, 1878, date of act. Mary died Aug. 23, 1883, at Conyersville. No further information about Elizabeth & Mary Duncan Ward.
