One thing you can do is look for copies of the wills of all three of these men. They will probably list children and wives and, by what they bequeath, give you some idea of their socio-economic status. You may find Antony mentioned in Rhett%26#039;s will, or vice versa. And if these men were of an age to have served in the Revolution, you may find some information on them through the DAR.

Antony SCOTT shown on another census page lists his age as 40 in 1880, so since Rhett was born in 1853, he couldn%26#039;t be Rhett%26#039;s father. Antony was at Wallaceburg, Hempstead, Arkansas when the census was taken.

I thought I had found some Henry Duncans, but for your 5th great-grandfather, NONE would have worked. He would have been 8 generations back from you, which means--judging from another question you had mentioning you were 15 now--Henry would have had to be born at least 160 years ago (or at least 1848) averaging 20 years per generation. The ones I found were from like 1870-1905 or so.
