This story was told by Tom Woodrow Duck, Father-in-law to Lester Phelps. Berry Duck was a staunch cessationist and very vocal about the fact. In the book "The Kingdom of Madison" it states that Berry and two other gentlemen of the county threatened to run a Baptist Minister by the name of Rev. H.W. Gilbert on a rail if he didn't pray for Jeff Davis. The death of Berry Duck was caused by being struck in the head by a stone thrown by a son. Whether this stone was tossed at another son or at Berry has not been proven. The family story handed down is that Berry was trying to break ip an argument between the two boys when tragedy occured. Lester Phelps believes it was by the guilty son Tepe Jesse Duck. Tom Woodrow Duck stated that in 1871, his grandfather William Henry Duck went to Oklahoma to see his brother and to help him out of some trouble. This was the brother that killed their father. Tom could not remember his name but said it was something unusual like Rep or Tep. William was gone for a year, and he left a new bride (Anne Buckner) to make this trip. The story of Berry and an illegitimate child was related to Lester Phelps by Torrey Paulson. Robert Duck (whom Lester believes to be Berry's father) fathered a child out of wedlock in 1807, with a woman named Fereby Nowell, so it wasn't a new thing for the Duck's. Timothy Duck (whom Lester believes to be Berry's Grandfather) fled from Virginia to North Carolina to avoid service in the military during the Revolution and lost all his property there as a result. He later went back and tried to take it back by force and got into deeper trouble. He died in 1807 and a shyster name of Freeman Killingsworth flim-flamed his widow out of the estate in North Carolina. Her sons sued and tried to get it back but by 1812 they were listed as insolvents in Johnson Co, NC.
