Some early Duncans in Llano Co. TX:
H.T. Duncan, 16 Feb. 1923, received word of death of his brother M.W. "Dick" Duncan at Woodsboro, TX, born Fannin Co. TX 7/26/1847, to Llano Co. 1866, mar. 6/8/1870 Jennie R. Moore; survived by brothers T.T. Duncan and G.W. Duncan of Llano and sister Mrs. Jonas Bedford of Kingsland. (from Llano News, Thursday, 22 Feb. 1923; from Karen S. Collins 11/1994)
"Among the Early Families of Central Texas" by Juanita Duncan (typed copy from Ray Duncan 4/1990, with comment that the document was undated, Juanita was granddaughter of John Bruce Duncan, she died 1975, document probably written before 1970; following is from the early part of the document. Note by Ray Duncan 5 Aug. 2002. Juanita thought Thomas Wells was the father of Penelope, but it has been well established by later research that Abner Wells was Penelope's father.)
Among the early families of Central Texas were the Duncans who married into the Dameron, the Dunman, the Ayres and the Haynes families. ...
... George Washington Duncan, founder of the branch in Central Texas, was ... born in South Carolina (Census for 1880, Llano county, Texas) probably in 1778. Certain other records indicate that his father was John Duncan. By 1813 this George W. Duncan was married and living in Tennessee for his son, George W. Duncan II, was born there in that year. (Census for 1850, Caldwell county, Texas). Family records prove conclusively that the wife of George W. Duncan I, was Penelope Wells, born in Virginia in 1790. It is believed that her father was Thomas Wells who operated a fort known as Wells' Station in Eastern Tennessee during the American Revolution. Her brother, Peyton Wells, was a prominent political figure in the State of Tennessee as is seen from the following letter which he wrote to his sister Penelope, Mrs. Duncan, when she was a widow living in the State of Texas with her son, John Bruce. It is probable that this is the last letter she received from her brother for she died in 1861 and is buried in Pecan cemetery in Llano county.
Shelbyville, Tennessee, April 18, 1860
"Dear Sister Penelope Duncan:
"Your letter the 7th of April 1860. I was glad to hear that you are well and doing well. ... I believe you said you wanted to know where your Frankie's two girls live, and their post office. They live in Bedford county somewhere but their post office I do not know. I expect if you would direct your letter to Shelbyville, Tennessee, they might get it. Direct it to Thomas Hazard (possibly this is Lazard, handwriting has faded) as Penelope married him. Their county is Lincoln. ...
"I shall now turn to politics. John wanted to know how Tennessee stood. ... "Well, John Duncan, I have given you a small history of Tennessee and of how she voted, so I shall say no more on politics.
"If you receive this letter I want you to write again. Write what has become of Percy Duncan and John Painter. Sister Penelope, we are both getting old. I have been in 74 since November last and you will be 69 the 20th of September next. We cannot have correspondence much longer unless it is the Lord's will to preserve us and help us in our old days. Anthony will be 79 the 15th day of June next. ...
"I Want you to be sure and write.
(Signed) Peyton Wells."
