Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The family found in 1880 includes your Mariah, and is the right family!.
The Henry Duncan in 1850/ Tenn is NOT your ancestor!. There is a transcription error!.!. the original image shows the father David was born in SC, but all children including Henry (1844) were born in Tenn!.
What you do have are two Henry Duncans, both born in 1844!. If you have more than one person with the same name, it is always critical to compare the original document, since there can be transcription errors!.
edit-
1900, Henry and Martha still live in SC!.!. his actual year and month of birth is shown as Feb 1843, and he has been married 31 yrs!. Martha shows that she had 4 children, 2 still lving!. Her birth is Jan 1852!. There is more info on the original, which I can email to you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
