  	Although not proven this mortgage was likely for the building of a stone 2 storey farm house on lot 9 con10. The style and footprint of this stone house is very similar to that of the Duncan farmhouse built on lot 10 con 9. John was the second oldest son of Robert Duncan and Agnes Gifford. He married in 1838, bought the 200 acres of lot 9 Con 10 in 1839 and had a young family of two daughters. It is also believed that he worked closely with his father and older brother Robert to clear and crop the farmland they owed by this time. Unfortunately John died in October 1844 after his youngeres child, john Duncan was born in the spring of 1844. The cause of his death is not known but must of caused great upheaval with in the family. The is land record evidence that this farm was assumed by John Forgie althought there is record registering this sale on record. John Forgie sold the farm to a nephew Graham Gorgie for $2000. on 4 Jan 1853.
