Duncan could be either Scottish or English.
-----------------------------------------
Duncan's last land record was for 340 acres in Kingston Parish,
Gloucester Co., VA in 1675. By 1704 when the Virginia Quit Rent roll
was taken, he had died, and the land divided between his three sons.-----------------------------------------
The surname Bohannon has both Scottish and Englishorigins. His
parentage has not yet been established. He met and married his wife
Cicely in Barbados, and at least their first child, John, was born
there.By 1662 they were in Charles Co., Maryland, and were
associated with the Neville family. The families moved to Gloucester
Co., VA by 1667, when Dunkin Bohono was granted headright patent for
220 acres along with John Mechen, adjoining that of Mr. Armestead and
Capt. Dudley. In 1675 he was assigned an additional 340 acres which
became his homestead in Kingston Parish. The family of John Neville
was adjacent to him, whom his daughter married.-----------------------------------------
Rec'd patent with John Mechen on 20 December 1667 for 220 acres, Gloucester Co. Va. They assigned this tract to Lt. Col. John Armistead. On 6 March 1674
Duncan was granted 340 acres of land in Gloucester Co., Kingston Parish, upon
the easternmost River, adj John Nevell, Wm Armistead, and due sd Bohannon by assignment. In the quits rents of 1704, Duncan Sr. does not appear, but his 3 sons are listed with the above land:
Duncan Bohannon-113 1/2 acres
John Bohannon-113 1/2 acres
Joseph Bohannon-148 acresIf Duncan Bohannon, Sr. divided his 340 acres between three sons, the dividends would be 113 1/3 acres each which supports an assumption that these taxpayers were his sons. Joseph apparently added to his dividend or perhaps it was surveyed to be a little larger than the other tracts.
The lands of Duncan Bohannon and John Neville probably were on East River in what is now Mathews County. Mobjack Bay is embraced by Gloucester and Mathews counties as an inlet of Chesapeake Bay. It is fed by Severn, North and East rivers. East River is in Mathews County which was formed from Gloucester County in 1790.
Duncan (Dunkin) Bohannon was granted 145 acres of land in Kingston Parish, Gloucester County, 26 April 1704 for transporting three persons; William Cluny, Harris Temperance and John Smithson, to Virginia. The tract adjoined lands of Mr. Richard Dudley, Captain Knowles, Captain William Armistead and Aldridge. Since this patent was issued forty years after the one acquired by Duncan Bohannon in 1667, it must have been retroactive or else pertained to Duncan, Jr. It apparently was granted after the rents roll of 1704, since Duncan was shown with only 113 1/2 acres then.
Duncan Bohannon, Jr. of Gloucester County in 1704 apparently moved to St. Stephens Parish, King and Queen County, Virginia, by 1730. He seems to be the Duncan Bohannon with wife Sarah who founded the branch of the Bohannon family which lived in Culpeper County, Virginia, and Woodford County, Kentucky.
King and Queen County is adjacent to Middlesex County which adjoins Gloucester County. Gloucester County was formed from York County in 1651. New Kent County was erected from York County in 1654. King and Queen County was established in 1691 from New Kent County. Lancaster County was created in 1651 from Northumberland County and Middlesex County was organized in 1669 from Lancaster. Westmoreland County derived from Northumberland in 1653, part of which became Stafford County in 1664. Prince William County came from Stafford in 1731.
Their marriage record, and the birth of their first son appear in the
records of St. Michael Parish, Barbados.
(One source has birthdate as 1691.)
"John Key was one of the pioneers who fixed their abodes within the
present limits of the county. He made his first entry of land in 1732,
and up to 1741 had obtained patents for nearly twelve hundred acres on
the west side of the South West Mountain. His home was where William W.
Minor now resides. His children were Martin, John, and Mary, the wife of
a Dalton. Martin succeeded to the home and estate of his
father, andby repeated purchases became the owner of all the land
reaching from Edgemont, the place of the late Henry Magruder, down to the
bend of the river on thefarm of the late R. F. Omohundro. He died in
1791. He and his wife Ann had twelve children, Thomas, John, Martin,
Tandy, Joshua, William Bibb, Henry, Jesse, James, Walter, Elizabeth, the
wife of James Daniel, and Martha, the wife of John White. Each of the
sons was comfortably provided for by their father's will, though
intimations are there given that the habits of some unfitted them for the
proper management of their affairs."Within the first score of years in the present century, the members of
this household were for the most part scattered over the South and West.
Thomas removed to South Carolina, where he invented some contrivance for
the more effective action of water wheels. The families of John, James
and Martha emigrated to Kentucky and Tennessee, and that of Elizabeth, to
North Carolina. Tandy lived for many years in the southern part of the
county near Covesville, but is said to have removed eventually to
Fluvanna County. Jesse P., a son of Tandy, married Sarah, daughter of the
younger William Woods, of Beaver Creek, and lived for some time near
Mechum's Depot. William Bibb married Mourning, daughter of Christopher
Clark, and went to Elbert County, Georgia. Henry settled in Bedford
County, andJesse died in Richmond in 1826. Walter appears to have been
the only one whospent his whole life in the county, and his death
occurred in 1834. John, Tandy and Joshua were all magistrates of the
county, and Walter was appointed to the office, but declined to accept.
John served as Sheriff in 1795, and Tandy in 1809. John was an Ensign in
the Eighth Virginia, and Henry a soldier inthe army of the Revolution.",
Albemarle County in Virginia by Rev. Edgar Woods, The
Michie Company, Printers, Charlottesville, Va, 1901, pg. 245."Key And Allied Families lists Henry Key as the son of John and Martha
Tandy Key. There is, however, compelling evidence which suggests that he
is the son ofJohn Key [born 1716] and his first wife [_____ Waller].
This would mean thatHenry would have been John Key's first child and
that John was about 15 - 16when Henry was born.", Dr. Gene C. Key"July 7, 1731. John Key of St. Geo.Par., Spts. Co., to Henry Lewis of
