Judene's 4th
Great Grandfather William DUNCAN was born about 1792 in either Virginia
or North Carolina. In 1820 William and wife Rachel & son Littleton
Lytle are in Franklin County, Alabama but shortly thereafter William
and family migrated to Saline County, Arkansas via Tennessee and Mississippi,

union. Littleton Lytle,
