Grace and family was part of the Scotch-Irish, or Ulster Scots, were descendants of the Lowland Scots, whom James I of England had settled in Ulster, the northern and most isolated and conservative part of Ireland. During the reign of Elizabeth I, the native aristocracy of Ulster had rebelled against the English government and its newly established Anglican Church. The earliest concentrated settlement of Scotch-Irish immigrants in North Carolina was in Duplin and New Hanover Counties around 1740. The Scotch-Irish were also the largest ethnic group among the settlers in the Carolina backcountry in the eighteenth century.
Although the Scottish emigrants, in coming to America, were assured freedom to exercise their religion at a time when the Stuart monarchy favored spreading the Anglican Church throughout the British Isles.
The most important motivation for Scottish emigration was economic.
In early1776, British authorities planned to exploit the allegiances of thousands of Scottish settlers who lived along the Cape Fear River near Cross Creek (present day Fayetteville).
Word was sent to the Loyalist to prepare for a landing British along the coast.Soon of Highland Scots were enlisted in Tory regiments in the region and marching toward Wilmington.
The Council of Safety acted swiftly to counteract their intention and February 27, 1776. Patriot troops intercepted and destroyed the Loyalist forces at "Moore Creek Bridge"
Duncan is a Scots name and this family changed the spelling to Dunkan with a "K". Perhaps because of their move to Ulster.

Edmund Duncan the son of Edmund and Sarah Duncan came from Pennsylvania to North Carolina to land owned by Arthur Dobbs. Duncan settled on the south of the reaches to the Goshen Swamp on the Cape Fear River.
On November 29, 1735, Governor Johnston informed his Council that Arthur Dobbs (later to become governor of the province), "and some other gentlemen of distinction in Ireland," and Mr. Henry McCulloch, a merchant of London (later agent for Lord Granville) had written him "respecting their intention of sending over to this province several poor Protestant families with design of raising flax and hemp."
They asked for a grant of 60,000 acres of land in New Hanover County. Their request was granted and in the next year (1736) the settlers arrived at their land on the Black River (now Duplin County), where they organized themselves into two congregations, Goshen and the Grove.
