Hi Susan,
I just saw your posting. I know it's old, but I'm hoping this gets to you.
I'm looking for information on Hugh Duke and his father - from what I can tell, that
would be John. My great-grandmother was Ruth Duke. Her parents were John Duke and
Christine Eaton. John's death certificate show his parents being Winfield S. Duke and
Martha Wyatt. I'm pretty sure my Winfield is Hugh's son Winfield S. shown in the
1850 Census I found for Hugh and Paulina. However, I've seen some postings claiming
that this Winfield died in the Civil War. I don't know when my Winfield died because
I can't find him in a census past 1870, but I can't find his wife or children
again until 1900.
Let me know if you get this and if you can help.
Thanks,
Debbie
