Duke Family

Of Lawrence Co. Arkansas


Major Dukes (spelled both with and without the "s", depending upon the census taker) was born in 1800 in Georgia, and married Elizabeth H. McLain, born in Alabama, in Phillips County, Arkansas in 1824. By the 1850 census, the Dukes were living in southern Lawrence County, Arkansas with their family. Major Dukes was the son of Isham Duke, Sr. and Nancy ???.

If you know of any additions to this chart, or any changes that need to be made, please feel free to contact me, Regina Creekmore Weaver, at weave@ipa.net to let me know. I am interested in connecting more people to this line, and in finding more "cousins". I also have more information on some of these families, and am always happy to share.
