In Loving Memory of Eli Quentin Duncan...
His middle name Quentin means fifth born. I am curious if he was the fifth born since some trees have him as the sixth child of Leroy Duncan. Possibly other trees list him as sixth child because he was listed sixth on his father's will… He could have been the sixth born or just listed out of order of birth on his father's will. More research needed.
1860 Carter Co. Census: Eli Duncan and family are enumerated right before the Rob Burchet family. It seems this is the family for which the Burchett-Plummer Cemetery is named after. That suggests that they were neighbors.
