From volume 2, page 192 – entry 2-66
“Lone grave, CLARK, Civil War Soldier. Killed crossing the river on the way to the mountains. Grave is on Kenneth Duncan farm, Hwy 197, 1st District. Information given to Mildred Brittain by Horace Tinker”
LOCATION – The precise location is uncertain. Along Highway 107 near the intersection of Onks Lane on Washington County tax parcel 101-044.02 A descendant of the Duncan’s pointed out the approximate location – within just several feet. The area has had some light grading done, and the fieldstone marker is now gone – a tree was planted very close to the grave.
GPS Location: approximate +36° 09.090, -82° 33.940
DEEDS – Deed Book 89, Page (1906) – 40 acres acquired by Jacob & Hannah Duncan. Deed Book 244, Page 590 (1947) – Jacob & Hannah Duncan to Kenneth & Bethel Duncan. No mention of a grave on the property. Deeds simply establish the location of the Duncan property.
BURIALS – All known information was written in the Bennett entry.
