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.
