Note:
In the list of heirs of William Duke, there were John & William Duke. At one time, I included them as children of William. I now believe they were children of William's son Richard Duke, who had predeceased his father. Richard did have sons John & William, who appeared in assorted records.

family tree in Ancestry shows parents as Thomas Duke and Mary Hixon. no sources or other info.
There is a Thomas Duke residence 1776 in Lower Hundred, Herford Co, MD.
