Surnames: Current, McDuffee
William Current witnessed the marriage of Peter Mcduffee to Jemima Kaitting on Jan. 08-1826 in Halton County,Trafalgar Township. Any chance Peter was the father of Charles and husband of Margaret? I need all the information I can find on this McDuffee family. I believe Peter was either an uncle or cousin of William Neal/Neall/Kneeland Current. William's mother's name was Mary Ann McDuffie, and William's grandfather, also named William Current, (of Crowland, Welland Co), mentions "Duffie" in his will. I am assuming the two families were friends, so I am hoping to find more information that might shed light on William Current's background.
