Biography

Richard Duke was a South Carolina colonist.

Richard was probably a civilian casualty of the Revolutionary War in South Carolina.

Richard and his wife had only two children of record, Moses who married Nancy Burge and Elizabeth who married Thomas L. Foster. Moses named his 1st boy-child Richard. Elizabeth named her 3rd boy-child, Richard.

The historical data suggest that John Dukes of Lancaster, SC, Robert Duke of Fairfield, SC, and Richard Duke of Edgefield, SC were brothers. Now an Autosomal DNA triangulation is consistent with the connection.
