Surname: Duke
-------------------------
Hello Paul,
Your Paulina Duke may be the sister to my 2nd great grandmother; Martha
(Mattie) J. Duke Perry b: 9/17/1851 Green Township, Morgan Co. d: 11/5/1911
Martinsville (South Park Cemetery). Martha was daughter of Hugh and Pauline
(White) Duke and they had 13 children including a Paulina, could this be
your ancestor. Your Paulina's birth of 1846 and Green Township would be
perfect.
Hugh was the son of John Duke a solider of the Revolutionary War, was born
in the British Isles 1/25/1756.
At the Martinsville Public Library, see the correspondence metal file cabinets
under "D" / Duke. Robert M. Duke wrote a book "The Dukes of Indiana".
I
do not have all decents of Hugh's children to see if your Paulina is sister
to my Martha, however, I believe the information is in the book above.
It is a very small thin book.
There is a Duke Cemetery in Green Township and John Duke is buried in the
old Shiloh Cemetery just west of Banta, Ind.
Best of Luck on your search and let me know if we are cousins!
