I have a question I hope someone can answer

I have been trying to find if All the stories that say there was a Reverend
William Duncan are true My Problem is I have hired a researcher in Scotland
and he has had no luck in finding any connection to Perthshire
This is what I have:

The Duncan's of VA are descended from the Reverend William Duncan of
Perthshire, Scotland, who was born in 1630 and was married in 1657 to
Sarah Haldane in Perthshire. He was beheaded during of Scotland
(1685-1689),
because he refused to take the Jacobite oath.
Their children were:
William Duncan (Jr.), born 1659;
Charles Duncan, born 1660;
Henry Duncan, born 1662;
Thomas Duncan, born, 1664;
Mary Duncan, born 1666.
After the death of their father all these came to American and settled in the
"Northern Neck" of VA.

Thanks
Angela
