[----- Transcript of letter:--------]
"Family History of Your Grandparents Mark Duncan & Marie Louise Bonapart Bright Duncan Staggs."
"Mark Duncan, born about [March] 1820 in [Lawrenceburg] Kentucky, was the [2nd] son of Benjamin Duncan [and Susannah Hawkins] [1] -- no other information about him other than the name -- Mark had brothers Mathew [older], John, Asa, and a sister Lucinda? [2.] of the "maidens grave" fame ["Donner party"] and possibly others. [3.]
The first Duncan on our line was said to have come to this country in the early colonial days and was a Presbyterian preacher.
Mark married Marie Louise Bonapart Bright in Kentucky on about [3rd of] March 1845 and sired your father [Ezra B.] -born May 20, 1861 - and Noel 1847 Mo., John Tyler, Feb. 20, 1849 d. Dec. 30, 1868, George Benjamin d. [born] June 8, 1854, died Oct. 1923, Mathew Bright d. [born] Nov. 30, 1858 died Nov. 1913, Edward, no date, Susan, no date, Sarah, no date.
Mark & M.L.B. emigrated from Kentucky to Platt City, Mo. about 1846 where Noel & John were born. When the "gold rush" of 1849 started, Mark left his family in Platt City and crossed the plains to California and was said to have been successful in acquiring his share of the gold.
In 1852 - or there abouts - he sent for M.L.B. and family and she crossed the plains in a covered wagon with Kit Carson as guide part of the way. She joined Mark at Yountville, Napa County and there George Duncan was born in 1854. From Yountsville, the family moved to a ranch on the Russian River near Heraldsburg, Sonoma County. Later Mark sold the ranch and set up a tannery business in Heraldsburg. In Heraldsburg, some of his children must have been born.
Hearing fabulous tales of the fertile, green lands of Oregon he sold the tannery business and moved his family to a ranch near McMinnville, Oregon. While engaged in settling up his affairs in Heraldsburg and moving his family - by wagon - he contracted smallpox on one of the trips and died enroute in 1862, place unknown.
Your grandma [Maria Bright] Staggs was born May 20, 1831 in Danville, Ill. although her parents originally came from Nashville, Tenn. where they were in the innkeeping business. She married Mark when she was not yet 14 and from that time her life was a saga of adventure and hardship.
After Mark's death, she married Sam Staggs, a school teacher and lived on the ranch at McMinnville until 1896 when she moved to a home she owned in Santa Rosa." [4.]
[1. Benj. md 1st to Mary Bennett, 1889, md 2nd, Susannah Hawkins, 9 Nov 1816, Franklin Co., KY, Susannah md 1st, Henry Kilby, having at least 5 children. She was the daughter of Mathew Hawkins and Hannah Maxwell]
[2. As Mark's siblings, John & Asa are not proven, and doubtful & Lucinda was actually wife of Daniel Duncan, 1st born of father Benj. and his 1st wife Mary Bennett]
[3. Doubt other siblings beyond Mark possible as Benj died within a few months after Mark's birth. Benj's will proven 16 Nov 1820.]
[4. She died there, aged 73, at 663 Charles St. Santa Rosa, Cal. 6 Mar 1904]

Notes for SUSANNAH HAWKINS:
Will of Susannah Duncan
January 13, 1840
I Susannah Duncan of Anderson County Kentucky being now of sound mind and disposing memory, and well knowing it appointed for all persons once to die, do in order to meet that event dispose of my worldly goods, with which it has pleased Almighty God to bless me which in the following manner to wit.
Item 1 - I will that after my death, that my body, my Executors herein after to be mentioned, be buried in decent Christian Burial.
2 - I will that after my decease that all my just debts be paid.
3 - I Will and bequeath the land on which I now reside, suppose to contain one hundred and fourteen acres, more or less, to my two sons Matthew and Mark Duncan and all the appurtenances and every part and parcel thereof to them and to their heirs forever, to be equally divided between them. And that the said Matthew and Mark Duncan shall pay the sum of five hundred dollars to my executors hereafter named, for this use and benefit of my daughters Clarissa Davies, Malinda Rains and Julila Ruckers and their children.
4 - I will and bequeath the balance of my estate of every kind of which I may dispossess to Matthew and Mark Duncan my two sons aforesaid and to Clairissa Davies, Malinda Rains and Julila Rucker my three daughters aforesaid for their use and their children only to be equally divided amongst them.
5 - I will and bequeath that portion of my estate that shall becoming to my daughters aforesaid and their children after said division shall take place to remain in the hands of my Executors aforesaid and too be laid out by them as soon as is convenient for land for the use of my said daughters and their children only for the purpose of securing them each a little home and when disposition of said land is made. I will and desire that this conveyance thereof be made to my Executors aforesaid and the survivor of them in trust for the use and benefit of my daughters and their children only forever,. The reason why I will my daughters portion to them and their children only is that their husbands are improvident and bad managing men and some of theirs if they have the control over it. I am convinced soon waste it and my daughters and their children would not be permitted to enjoy it - therefore I desire that they shall have no control over it.
6 - I will and appoint my sons - Matthew and Mark Duncan my sons aforesaid my Executors to this my last will and testament hereby revoking all others heretofore made by me. In testimony whereof I have set my hand and seal this 15th day of January 1840.
Witness present: Susannah x Duncan (seal)

Notes for Mark Duncan:
This account was written by a grandchild of Mark Duncan & Maria Bright. The letter was handed down to Robert Owen Duncan, 3rd great grandson of Mark & Maria and is now in his possession.
Shortly after Mark Duncan & Maria Bright married they sold their lands to his brother Matthew Duncan and his wife Virginia Utterback. They emigrated from Kentucky to Platt City, Missouri about 1846 where their first two children, Noel and John, were born.
When the "Gold Rush" of 1849 started, Mark left his family in Platt City and crossed the plains to California. In 1852, or there about, he sent for his family. They are said to have crossed the plains in a covered wagon with Kit Carson as guide part of the way. They joined Mark at Yountville, Napa County, California and there George Duncan was born in 1854.
From Yountsville, the family moved to a ranch on the Russian River near Heraldsburg, Sonoma County, California. Later Mark sold the ranch and set up a tannery business in Heraldsburg. While living in Heraldsburg more children were born to Mark & Maria.
Hearing fabulous tales of the fertile green lands of Oregon he sold the tannery business and moved his family to a ranch near McMinnville, Oregon. In 1862 on one of the trips to settle up his affairs in Heraldsburg and move his family by wagon he contracted Smallpox and died en route to McMinnville.
Maria Bright had married Mark when she was not yet 14 and from that time on her life was a saga of adventure and hardship. After Marks's death, she married Sam Staggs, a school teacher and lived on the ranch in McMinnville, Oregon until 1896 when she moved to a home she owned in Santa Rosa. She died March 6, 1904 at he son Edward's house.
