Notes - Jessie Duncan loved to play euchre and cribbage. The Angus family were reputed to play cards "like there was no tomorrow". Jessie and Jack's daughters inherited their parents' fondness for card playing.
The origin of Jessie's odd middle name, Brown, is a mystery. Even her daughters Jackie and Mae, had no idea where their mother's middle name came from. Unfortunately nobody thought to ask Jessie while she was still alive. It is presently suspected that she is named after the wife of her father's cousin, Robert Orr, who married a Jessie whose surname may have been Brown. Robert had a sister Janet Orr who is the likely source of Jessie Brown Duncan's sister's name, Janet Orr Duncan. Robert Orr was a coal miner who may have worked with Jessie's father, Robert Wilson Duncan.
