"Wee Geordie" Duncan is indeed an interesting chap. As the descendant of Scottish people we have a connection. I don't know where his grandparents were from but was intrigued when the U.S. Census showed his grandmothers native language as "Scottish". The difference between English and Scots(not Scottish or Scotch) is not much. Scots is a regional English used by the majority of people in Scotland. Not to be confused with Gaelic which is spoken among some Highlanders and such. Why they settled in Illinois is a question I would like answered but it may relate to mining.
