In 1807 Charles (d. 1820) Duncan executed a deed in Ohio Co., KY where he made a claim on the estate of John Roberts Senior of Culpeper Co., "I by decent (sic) have become entitled."Since he was too old to be a descendant of John Roberts, I suspect his wife, Mary, was actually a daughter of John Roberts.She stopped appearing in deeds in about 1804 if I remember correctly, so may have been deceased when this was done.This would be the John Roberts who married Elizabeth Russel and if it is correct would make Charles (d. 1820) Duncan the brother in law of Benjamin (b. 1741) Roberts who was married to Anne daughter of William Duncan the Elder.It would also make Charles (d. 1820) Duncan the brother in law of Francis Roberts whose daughters Jane and Mary married Charles (d. 1820) Duncan sons Rawley and George respectively. at Citation.⁷

; From Richard Vaught Email 16 Nov 2021:
     "1) THE Vogt we are all from is Johann Vogt of Hunalstein (1080) and yes, like you another John! It appears he allied himself as did his father and grandfather with the prince(s) of Trier and that alliance lasted until 1523 when Franz von Sickingen destroyed the Vogt castle and their lands/holdings in his war with the prince of Trier to the demise of the prince’s power and authority also: see note at bottom. All the younger sons that Johann had could not inherit the title, so most stuck out on their own going and settling around Frankfurt AM, then later to Hanover and somewhere around the early 1500s into the Netherlands where the name Vogt became Voogt as the Dutch added a “o” to the name (more on that later). This would be the pattern for the next couple of hundred years until the destruction of the castle and lands in 1523 and what was left they moved to Loiraine which became the thriving center under them until they were destroyed by the French King in 1766 when the King took everything. They were granted the titles of count and countess.
     "The Vogt grew in wealth as they were traders, millers and merchants and Frankfurt Am was a hub. In fact, Johann Paulus’s fourth great grandfather Hans Adolarus Vogt whom was born in Thueringen, Germany and mention is made of a “noble family from Hunalstein” that he was from. I therefore, after talking to Dr Marcus Niehorstor of Neustadt, Germany who has helped me so much with German records and such, that he had to be related otherwise, no such mention would have been made.

Would I have gone at his age, probably and why not? The other questions is: were they related? I would say yes as it is unrealistic to think that they all live in the same region, with the same last names, powerful and wealthy, and not know each other or be related. That just does not pass the logic test by any standard. I think they were all first cousins, while some others may have been 2nd cousins but they knew each other, and some were brothers.

     "1) THE Vogt we are all from is Johann Vogt of Hunalstein (1080) and yes, like you another John!

All the younger sons that Johann had could not inherit the title, so most stuck out on their own going and settling around Frankfurt AM, then later to Hanover and somewhere around the early 1500s into the Netherlands where the name Vogt became Voogt as the Dutch added a “o” to the name (more on that later). This would be the pattern for the next couple of hundred years until the destruction of the castle and lands in 1523 and what was left they moved to Loiraine which became the thriving center under them until they were destroyed by the French King in 1766 when the King took everything.
