Nothing has been found to prove the first name of the Duncan who was killed in 1777, but Rice Duncan (7.) was in the area, and one Rice Duncan had a son Joseph (7.1.) named in the will of Roseannah Stevenson (1.); this same Joseph (7.1.) appears to be the son of Elizabeth, whose husband was killed in 1777 and who was left with five small children, according to the Journal of the House of Delegates of VA.
