Colonel John Duncan

We made a trip to Acworth, New Hampshire to find the grave-site of Scott's great, great, great grandfather known as Colonel John Duncan.  We were so excited when we found it with the help of a friendly New Hampshire couple who were out taking a walk.  When we got to the cemetery I told Scott that we should probably just look at every grave with the flags because Colonel John Duncan served in the American Revolution.  It didn't take long to find him.  Buried on each side of him are his wives Margaret Dickey who died and then he married Betsey Prouty.  As a result of those two marriages 19 children were born.
Colonel John Duncan's headstone is in the middle and his
wives were on each side.

  1. Wow, what a fantastic find. Do we know anything else about Colonel John Duncan? That's really neat that he served in the Revolutionary War.
