At this point he erected a cabin, 12 by 14, himself and family sleeping in the wagons until his cabin was made ready for occupancy. Mr. Duncan supposed that he had settled in the state of Missouri and had the honor of being one of the county commissioners of Mercer County and also probate judge and representative in the Missouri Legislature in 1848 for that county. An interesting event concerning the boundary between the states, it was discovered H.B. Duncan was actually in Iowa and in 1852 he was elected to the Iowa Legislature in Iowa City, Iowa. Mr. Duncan owned slaves and when he found that he was a resident of Iowa, he offered his Negroes their liberty. They, however, remained with him and received a good education for those times. H.B. Duncan's sons, Green P. and Harvey M., said the territory was wild, uncultivated and inhabited by Indians and wild animals. The Indians were their principal neighbors. Princeton was their nearest milling and trading point. !BURIAL: !From the book "Early History - Lineville" Harvey Boyd Duncan was buried in the Duncan Cemetery now located on the Doyle and Fieta Duncan Ellis farm. He was later moved to Evergreen Cemetery beside his wife, Eliza, under the supervision of Joe Duncan.
