The Seven Daughters of Alfred Duncan and Catherine Leach named above.

I am not sure who is whom in the photograph. Thanks to Dr. Paul Bailey Francis for the photograph. For more information see his webpage.


Parents of Alfred Duncan

Benjamin Duncan; b. 1755, d. (Unknown)
Mary Davis; b. (Unknown), d. (Unknown).

Note:
I have listed Benjamin Duncan and Mary Davis as the parents of Alfred Duncan as that was the first information I received. However, I have recently been told that some sources list Raleigh/Rawley Duncan and Mary Kerr of Washington County, Tn. as Alfred's parents. If any readers have any evidence or proof one way or the other on this subject, please let me know. I think this is what makes the study of Genealogy interesting.

Parents of Catherine Leach

John Leach; b. 1770-1780, d. 1840-1850
Sarah (?); b. 1780 in Virgiania, d. (Unknown).
