Raleigh Meeting Thanks

[Dave Duncan - Asheville]

As a new member of the "F-Troop" (as cousin Mike Duncan put it), it was a great pleasure to attend the meeting in Raleigh this past weekend and to meet so many "new" cousins.  Special thanks to Dean Duncan for all the organization...to Tim Duncan for traveling all the way from Washington to update us on the Duncan DNA project...and to Kim & Anita Duncan for hosting us on Sunday night and providing the Low-Country-Boil (one of my favorites).  I'm also appreciative of all the cousins that were so eager to share their genealogy smarts with a newbie like me ... notably Gwyneth, Fred, Jason, Tim (again), and Michael O'Keefe who took extra time to spend with me one on one.  I wish I could have spent time with everyone individually, but time constraints made that impracticable.  There were several resources, family collections of pictures, books, and other items I just didn't get to study near enough, but they did provide great inspiration for continued research.

The meetings in Raleigh have inspired me already to order 2 Family Finder Autosomal kits for my Mom and myself.  I also plan to upgrade my Y37 test to the Y67 when the holiday specials become available.  

I look forward to future collaboration in our Duncan heritage research, and hopefully more face to face meetings in the future.

Sorry WAYNE, I mistakenly called you Michael...I had a "senior moment."  :)

[Wayne O'Keefe]

No problem Dave.

 

I would like to  reiterate what Dave said, it was a great pleasure to attend the meeting in Raleigh this past weekend and to meet so many "new" cousins.  Thank you to Dean for organizing the meeting, Kim and Anita for hosting, for Gwyneth in creating the Duncan F Group website, and thank you to the mystery man who enabled me to be part of this group.  I feel very fortunate!

 

Take care all,

Wayne

Little did I know before my meeting with all of you how much it takes to research one's family history!  What a fun gathering that was at Kim & Anita's, thank you both!  And the meeting was very informative!  So good to meet everyone and especially fellow Texans, Virginia and Dean!  

My travels after the meeting took to me across NC and then into SC where I was almost able to make it to the town(?) of Duncan off I85, but was in too much a hurry to return to the Raleigh airport.  Would have had fun taking a selfie in front of the sign!

Genny,

You were in the Upstate section of SC.

There is a town next to Duncan called Moore and up the road a town called Chesnee all of which are last names of some of the settlers.

I have worked in that area quite a bit and all that i have met are very nice people.

There is also a Duncan in North Carolina!  Somewhere east and south of

Raleigh.

Agnes, not totally sure of this, but the town of "Duncan" North Carolina may actually have a connection to our Y-dna sub group. I remember my dad telling me of a Duncan lady from the Roxboro/Durham, NC area who married into the Duke family. The Duke family had interest in the early railroad system in NC and seemed to have named small train depots (later towns) along the way after relatives. If instance, my address is "Angier", NC. happens to be one of those towns which was named after John "Angier" who married into the Duke family.

Same Duke family we can connect to Bute Co, NC. Also, if I remember correctly, the Duncan family had some sort of earlier connection to this early "Green" Duke family in Bute Co, NC. I think Charles & I have discuss this before ...Can't remember the details,  Maybe Charles can remember the connection.

Also, I have know idea exactly where this Green family in Bute Co, NC came from, but from link below, it appears Brunswick Co. VA.

I'm just wondering if it's possible this Green family somehow connect to Leven Green in Ginny's tree.....May not be a connection at all, however,, it appears there was a Rev. Leven Thomas Green who was born in the late 1700's,  who lived in NC for awhile. Can't connect him to anyone at the moment, but "what are the odds" of someone with the surname Green also having the first name "Leven"

http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/GREEN/1999-07/0930846009


Cousin Ginny's connection = Thomas Jefferson Duncan, b. 16 Dec. 1769, Va., d. 10 Feb. 1856, Nelson Co., Ky., m. 1 Sept. 1796, Nelson Co., Ky., Nancy Green, b. 1780, d. 12 Jan. 1806, dau. of Leven Green and Mary Ellis}


From the web "Leven Green was the son of General Benjamin Green of Virginia. He served in the Westmoreland County Militia in the Revolution. He was born in 1749 and died in Nelson County, Kentucky in 1830, one mile south of Bloomfield. His grave in the family cemetery on the farm of C.L. Leathers, whose wife is Leven Green's great-great granddaughter. Leven Green purchased 500 acres from the Coomes Land Company of Virginia in 1795. He was listed in the 1790 census as a resident of Madison County, KY. He married Mary Ellis of Pennsylvania and had four children: Isaac, born in 1777, married Elizabeth Owen; Zachariah, born in 1785, married Fanny Duncan; Nancy, born in 1780, married Thomas Duncan(1768-1856); and Sarah, born 1786, married Daniel Lane. After the death of Daniel Lane, Sarah Green Lane married Richard Van Dyke."

(Note in regard to reference above comments: Other sites question whether Leven Green was the son of General Benjamin Green. Still others claim he had New York or Maryland connections, then other sites came he came to KY from Va.).

KY and Ginny's Line

"DY Cemetary Records" by KY Society DAR, Vol. IV indicates that Leven had a cemetary named after him. The Leven Green Cemetary, one mile south of Bloomfield and of Cey Leathers Farm. Many Greens and Duncans are buried there.

Inventory and appraisal of the property of Leven Green, dec'd 14 Oct 1830, $6525 in slaves and $1009.22 1/2 in other property. Appraised by William M. Foster, Redmon Grigsby, James Porter and Lilas Tichenor. Recorded 13 Jun 1831.

List of property of the estate of Leven Green sold at public sale, 18, 19, 20 Oct 1830. Signed by Zachariah Green, Green Duncan and Ellis Duncan, Executors.

PS: I know I'm rambling here, but I have a double interest in the early Green family in NC since my mother's middle name was "Green" (maiden name "Adams"). Much like in Ginny's family, she inherited the "Green" name from an earlier marriage between, John Adams & Delilah Green (b.c.1774), daughter of an Edwin Green (from parts presently unknown)). The farm I now live on was part of an Edwin Green land grant {circa 1750). Now, whether he was related to this Bute Co, NC Green family, I don't know..
