The Duncklee family of Lydneborough is of Scotch descent. The first to come to Lyndeborough, of which any record can be found, was Hezeiah, who came from Danvers, Mass., and settled in that part of Lyndeborough, which was afterwards made the town of Greenfield. He was of the fourth generation from Elnathan, who came to America from England and settled in Dedham, Mass., in 1651. It is not known just when he camee to Lyndeborough, but he was a soldier in Capt. Peter Clark's company in 1777. (See Chapter X.) His wife was Mehitable White, a sister of Mrs. Aaron Lewis, also of Moses White of Lyndeborough. They were children of Benjamin and Mary White of Dedham, Mass. Hezekiah Duncklee had at least three sons of record. He died in Greenfield, March 10, 1827.
