According to the records at Fold3 there were three John Duncans or their widows as well as two Samuel Duncans who applied for Revolutionary War pensions. Both Samuels applied for pensions so they obviously survived the war. One John survived and applied. The other two widows were not named Mary.

Have you checked at NARA? Some pages might also be on Fold3. There are a couple of independent researches who pull files for a small fee. If you want the contact info, just email me.

Where might I obtain the pension files for two Revolutionary War widows residing in Frederick County, Virginia? Quoting from Bockstruck's "Revolutionary War Pensions, awarded 1775-1905":
"Duncan, John. Va. - . He died in service about the last of May 1779. His widow, Mary Duncan, and two children were furnished £20 support in Frederick Co., Va. on 5 Sep. 1780. She was on the pension list in 1785."
"Duncan, Samuel. Va. - . He died in the service. His widow, Mary Duncan, and two children were furnished £20 support in Frederick Co., Va. on 7 Sep. 1779 and on 5 June 1782."
Thanks,
Ed Smith
