  1. Hi Phyllis, I have some info for Thomas Jefferson Duncan, as my cousins and I visited the Leven-Green small graveyard in Bloomfield, KY and took many pictures. Tombstone has a different date of birth, I have that he was married 3 times, and have children by first wife and a picture of his tombstone plus other tombstones taken at this cemetery: (from Dottie Porter Himes)

    Nancy Green Duncan died 207 years ago – January 12, 1806 – in Nelson County, Kentucky. Nancy was the daughter of Leven Green and Mary Ellis. She married Thomas Jefferson Duncan, son of Coleman Duncan and Mary Lyne, in 1796. The Duncan’s and Green’s both came from the Loudoun County, Virginia area. Nancy and Thomas had at least one son, Green Duncan, born in 1797.

  2. Strangely, I have a Nathaniel Grundy Duncan in a family photograph. He was born in 1904 to John Dyer Duncan and Nancy Ellen (Hardin) Duncan in Nelson County. There must be some relation there.
