Duncan Z. Grubb ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9}

  General Notes:

Duncan appears to have been married twice. The first time was to Virginia "Jennie" Vangilder on 5 Apr 1882 in Marion County, West Virginia. She died in 1888 and there are no records of any children being born to the couple.

Approximately 5 years later he was remarried to Elnora Vangilder about 1893. She was probably a cousin to his first wife. The proof that they were not the same person appears on the 1910 US Census in which Duncan states that he has been married twice while his then current wife, Elnora, says that she has been married only once.
