They had:[2] Henry Duncanson born say 1604; died after 20 September 1626 when named in the will of his uncle, Walter Duncanson;[3][4] Jonet Duncanson baptized 13 April 1613;[5] married (1) John Ardes, at Amsterdam, 20 December 1639,[6] (2) Thomas Powell, widower of her sister Anne, and (3) Robert Orchard, by 1671;[7] no known issue;[8] Maria Duncanson born say 1614; married at age 25, Jan MacFasse at Amsterdam, after 14 January 1640;[9] and perhaps second, Pieter Loockermans;[10] had issue (there are some doubts about Maria and her parentage - please see Research Notes on her profile); John Duncanson baptized December 1615;[11] Anne Duncanson born say 1616 - 1617; married at age 28, Thomas Powell, at Amsterdam, about October/November 1646;[12] died before her widowers marriage to her sister Jonet;[7] Margaret Duncanson baptized 17 March 1618;[13] married at age 20, William Teller at Amsterdam, 6 February 1639;[14] died probably at Albany, between 1659 and 19 April 1664;[15] Katherine Duncanson baptized 15 April 1621;[16] married at age 18, Alexander Glen, at Amsterdam, 31 October 1638;[17] died at Schenectady, 13 November 1685.[18] James and Helen apparently had three additional children whose names are unknown.
