Died:

Eliza may have died in childbirth in 1863, as the Heycuz website gives her death as 10 October 1863 and lists child "M. V. Duncan" as born in 1863. The latter child appears in no additional records and may have died, as well. The Heycuz data for Hiram Walker Duncan offers a number of sources, including Duncan Bible records, but is not specific about which records support which information.

Certainly Hiram W. Duncan had remarried by 1880, when his wife is Cynthia M. The attributed marriage date for Hiram and Cynthia on the Heycuz site is 1868.

Notes:

Reasearch NotesA courthouse fire consumed marriage records in Hickman County prior to 1866. Sarah is generally believed to have married Daniel Lindsey Brown prior to 1852. Brown was the son of the 13th Governor of Tennessee, Gov. Neal Smith Brown.

Some people believe that the daughter listed as "Sarah" may have been the same person as the "Martha" who appears in Alexander Clark's home in the 1850 census, but is not seen afterward.

Sarah is generally believed to have died about 1866, and her four attributed children are:
William J. "Buck" Brown-may have ridden with Jesse James, Cole Younger, etc
Jenny Brown, m. Claud Plunkett
A.C Brown, b abt 1858, no further info
Cheatham Easley Brown, b. 1865, d. 1945 Hickman Co
