David's obituary states that he was a Confederate soldier during the Civil War. However, despite extensive searching, this information cannot be verified. All the information about David Duane is apparently for a David Colson Duane who was from Virginia, is buried in Virginia, and who may have fought with Morgan's Raiders. Perhaps the war stories this David Duane told were misinterpreted; he may have fought Morgan's Raiders but against them, not with them. Morgan's Raiders did fight a battle with the Michigan 25th Infantry in Kentucky. The Civil War grave registration database has removed David Marshall Duane's listing as a Confederate Soldier after the error was brought to their attention.
David was married circa 1870 to Sarah Jane Richards, daughter of Henry Richards and Frances Farnsworth. Sarah was born November 1843 in East Hamburg, Erie County, New York.
