| 释义 |
LifeHe was the brother of Alexander Duncan of Lundie, Forfarshire, and uncle of Adam Duncan, 1st Viscount Duncan.[3] Duncan graduated M.D. from the University of St Andrews in 1751.[1] He attended George III, becoming physician in ordinary in 1760, taking the place in the new reign of Frank Nicholls; and was created a baronet in 1764. He treated the king in his first illness (1765).[4][5][6] In partnernership with a Scottish physician, Andrew Turnbull, he obtained land grants in Florida, where they planned a new settlement, New Smyrna, using indentured labour from the Mediterranean and Negro slaves. In 1768 eight ships set off from Minorca with more than a thousand settlers on board, but on arrival they found conditions deplorable. Duncan was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1771.[7] Towards the end of his life he moved abroad, passing his practice to Sir John Eliot.[2] He died at Naples, in September 1774.[8] The large investment he had made at New Smyrna was lost a few years later in 1777 when the surviving indentured settlers deserted New Smyrna en masse.[9] FamilyIn 1763, Duncan married Lady Mary Tufton, daughter of Sackville Tufton, 7th Earl of Thanet.[10] He left no son, and the baronetcy died with him.[8] Lady Mary was born in 1723, and died in 1806.[11][12] She was noted for her high wigs, and supposed infatuation with Gaspare Pacchierotti.[13] Notes1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://munksroll.rcplondon.ac.uk/Biography/Details/1362|title=Munks Roll Details for William (Sir) Duncan|accessdate=10 September 2015}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Duncan, William}}2. ^1 {{cite ODNB|id=8678|title=Eliot, Sir John|first=Caroline|last=Overy}} 3. ^{{cite book|author=William Anderson|title=The Scottish nation: or, The surnames, families, literature, honours, and biographical history of the people of Scotland|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aYJmAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA82|year=1867|publisher=A.
