4/19/00 Mrs. Brown, I understand Lewis Duggan Duke, my great-grandfather,
and Mary Simpson Duke, my great-grandmother, are buried in West Antioch
Cemetery in Bolling, Alabama, near Greenville. I'm the son of George Duke and
grandson of William Lewis Duke, who owned several hundred acres of land near
Wild Fork and Bolling. I've traced Lewis Duggan Duke back to Taylor County,
Georgia. He was the son of Darling Duke, a justice of the peace in Taylor
County and Marion County, Georgia. My great-grandfather served as a sergeant
in the 28th Battalion, Company D, the Georgia Siego Artillery, Confederate
Army, during the War Between the States. He was the grandson of Lewis Duke of
Fairfield County, South Carolina. I would appreciate any additional
information you could provide on those buried in West Antioch Cemetery.
Thanks. Bobby Duke, Frederick, Maryland >>
