  • Notes 
    • It would appear that several members of the Duncan clan had close connections to and were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Certainly plenty of evidence of their membership can be found in the membership rosters of the early church at Faversham. Additionally, at various times throughout 1938 "Baptisms and Confirmations for the Dead" were performed at Salt Lake City Temple on behalf of George Duncan, the grandson of Archibald Duncan (born during 1760). The proxy baptisms performed on 29 April 1938 indicate that George Duncan was then deceased but, on his behalf the following baptisms were performed:

      40363, Deborah Arnold, born circa 1811, of Faversham, George Duncan son
      40364, Elizabeth McKay, born circa 1783, of Faversham, George Duncan relative-in-law
