Children (birth years approximate based on census)
1856-Franklin 1859-"Abalsey"/"Anabaley" 1861-Ludelis/Della
Names of the last two are girls, my best guess as to what the census said.
Franklin may be the child of a marriage before Emaline.
NC marriage records have a "Lou Della" Duncan marrying Robert Durham 11-21-1883. two of her uncles married Durhams. |

1850 Johnston County NC, District 1
Henry Duncan, age 46, doctor, estate value: 750, born NC
(presuming this is the right guy because the one in 1860 is a physician, and also because he is next-door to John Boon, age 60, farmer, with wife Sitha or Letha? age 53, and daughter Emmaline C. Boon, age 18.)
Johnston County records: 11-30-1857 bond date, 11-30-1858 marriage date between Henry "Dunkin" and Emeline C Boon, bondsman William S. Boon, witness Alfred Holland, marriage performed by J.F. Ellington (note that 1857 and 1858 do not make Franklin legitimate--wonder if there was an earlier wife).
1860 census, Johnston County, NC, Neuse River District, post office: Clayton
(presuming this is the right Henry, despite wife Emaline being listed as Elizabeth, because his neighbor is Averit Duncan)
