Goodspeed's History of Tennessee
History of Perry County
transcribed by David Donahue
"Minnie Duncan, of Perry County, one year old, daughter of Wm. B. and Lizzie Duncan, has more living ancestors than any other person in the State. In the paternal line she has E. T. and Catharine Duncan, grandfather and mother; Elijah and Nancy Duncan, great-grandfather and mother, and in the maternal line of her father a great-grandmother, Mrs. Mary McDonald. In the maternal line B. F. Campbell, grandfather, and W. H. and Martha C. Campbell, great-grandfather and mother. In the maternal line of her mother, Sally Bryson, great-grandmother, and "Granny" Quarles, great-great-grandmother. All of these twelve ancestors live in District No. 10, except the Campbells, who live in District No. 6, both in Perry County. All are Republicans in politics, and useful citizens."

The "Granny" Quarles mention above is the same Elizabeth "Betsy" Qualls, wife of Isham Qualls.
