James Duncan,
21. Dea. James3 (George2, George1), b. in Londonderry, Nov. 11, 1749; m. in 1776, Jane Christie, who was b. in Londonderry, Aug. 1, 1752. He came to Society Land with his brother. (q. v.) He settled on Norway hill in 1779, where C. G. Matthews res., marked "C. Duncan." The " old camp rock" (106) may still be seen, where he built his first shelter. One night, while in this camp, he was awakened by a strange noise, and on looking up saw a huge catamount ready to spring upon him. He instantly threw birch bark upon the smouldering fire, and the sudden blaze proved too much for the unpleasant visitor, which, with another scream, departed. James Duncan's name does not appear on the list of petitioners for the incorporation of the town, June 7, 1779, but his land was deeded to him by Charles Barrett, of New Ipswich, in 1779, and as his brother Robert's name is on the petition, it is probable that he was at that time yet at their home on the other side of the Contoocook river ; nor does his name appear at the first town-meeting recorded, when his brother was chosen town clerk ; but later he seems to have been quite prominent in town affairs, being frequently chosen as moderator, town clerk, and to fill other important offces. He was early chosen one of the deacons of the Congregational church, which office he held until the close of his life; d. May 9, 1805. Of his wife, Jane Christie, it is related that when a girl she won a wager of $40 by reaping against the smartest man in Londonderry .. (See also p. 72.) She d. July 1, 1834. Children : -

* We give in this connection the story of Mrs. Dustin's heroism, as given by her great-grandson, David K. Dustin, as told to him many times by his father, who was Mrs. Dustin's grandson. She was taken with the boy, her nurse Mary, and her nephew, by nine Indians, on the night of the 8th of March. On the night of the 8th of April she killed the Indians and scalped them, and on the eighth day of May she reached her home. Her husband was dropping corn when he heard the news of her safe arrival; he dropped the dish of corn. Soon after that they carried the scalps to Bos- ton, in order to get a bounty on them, but the bounty was refused because it was averred that she killed the Indians in cool blood. "No," said she, " my blood never was cool with them after they took my infant baby, only eight days old, and dashed its brains out against an apple tree, before my face and eyes." But great gentlemen gave them many gifts and presents for their sufferings and courage. This narrative is given in very nearly the words of Mr. Dustin, in a letter dated Nov. 12, 1885, and his nephew, John D. Butler, assured us that whatever he might write, would be absolutely correct.
t David Kimball4, his son, writes that he d. in Gilsum.
