The Duvall Family

Photo Album

The Duvall family lived around the Leesburg/Duncan’s Bridge area in the early days and later moved to Madison. Henry Clay Duvall migrated from Kentucky to Carroll County, MO. After losing his first wife, Elizabeth Jane O’Neal, in childbirth, he moved to Monroe County. He married Nancy Jane Capp in August 1875.

Will (1869-1938) was a carpenter by trade and built several houses still standing today. Family lore is that the family was so poor they didn’t own a horse so he had to walk from Duncan’s Bridge to build the house that now stands across from the Moberly racetrack!
