| 4. | Duncan* Bohannan was born about 1635 in Gloucester Co, Virginia; died before 1704 in Kingston Parish, Gloucester Co, Virginia. Notes:
Parents not determined.
From Weymouth, Dorsetshire England, came to America via Barbados and lived in Maryland before settling in Virginia.
Was in Charles County Maryland by 5 May 1662 when he was sued by John Neville (Neavill) for debt attachment. In 1664 the suit was continued by council because of the death of the plaintiff.
bef 20 Dec 1667, moved to Gloucester Co, VA, received patent with John Mechen for 220 acres at Mobjack Bay, adjoining lands of Mr. Armistead and Captain Dudley. granted against headrights for transporting four persons to the colony:

"infant" only meant a juvenile of any age, so record pertains to John Neville, son of James and Elizabeth Neville, who was born in 1662, married Elizabeth Bohannan and died in 1733. Being involved in the administration of the estate of James Neville, who died in 1674, Dunchan Bohannan may have been a guardian of the boy and probably was a relative, perhaps an uncle. Elizabeth Bohannon wo married John Neaville in 1684 must have been a daughter of Duncan Bohannon.
Duncan Sr. apparently died after he got his patent in 1674 and before 1704 VA quit rents were assessed in Kingston Parish, Gloucester Co, when 340 acres appeared to have been divided between his sons, John, Joseph, and Duncah Jr.
Dunchan 113 1/2 acres
John 113 1/2 acres
Joseph 148 acres
Lands of Duncan Bohannon and John Neaville probably on the East River in what is now Matthews County. Mobjack Bay is embraced by Gloucester and Mahews counties as an inlet of Chesapeake Bay.
Duncan was granted 145 acres in Kingston parish, Gloucester 26 Apr 1704 for transporting 3 person: William Cluny, Harris Temperance and John Smithson to Virginia. The tract acjoined lands of Mr. Richard Dudley, Captain Knowles, Captain William Armistead and Aldridge. Since this patent was issued 0 yrs after the one in 1667, it must have been retroactivev or else pertained to Duncan Jr. It was granted after the rents roll of 1704 since Duncan was shwon with only 113 1/2 acres then.
