    Text James Henry did not marry. He was a surgeon.
    According to Blekely History
    "Dr. James Henry Duncan had a large practise
    extending from Gravesend, Seven Oaks and Maidstone.
    The laborious practise and a broken collar bone
    led to an early death on Jan 19th 1836."
    There is or was a stone in the north east corner
    of Wrotham Church which says:
    Sacred To the memory of
    JAMES HENRY DUNCAN ESQ
    Surgeon of this place
    Eldest Son of ALEXANDER DUNCAN ESQ Surgeon of
    Gravesend in the County.
    Who died Jan 19th 1836 aged 39. He lived
    respected and beloved. The public regretted him
    to the family with whom he resided. His loss is
    irreparable when they think of his faithfulness,
    patience, piety and strict integrity, a most
    excellent creature. They grieve exceedingly but
    like such as have no faith, for they believe
    and expect the resurrection of those who
    sleep in Christ.
