Name: William Duke
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.

Comments: Hello,
I was just wondering if you had any updates on William Duke/my many greats grandfather (born abt 1750 Maryland)(Died abt 1818 Virgina). I have been stuck on who his father/ mother is. I have not found any good research on his parents and going back to his past. I have been on a sticking place for awhile now. Thank you for any assistance.
I enjoy your set up on here and how you have things.
Joey Duke
