Corrected Genealogy of Samuel Duval, Jr.
This is a corrected genealogy for Samuel DuVal, Jr.
Errors in the DuVal genealogy were discovered in the 1980's by the DuVal Family Association genealogist,
Joseph S. Hays of Smith's Grove, Kentucky. After extensive research, additional information was discovered by
Lt. Col. Jack Thacker. Col. Thacker wrote an article entitled "Correcting the Genealogy of Samuel DuVal, Jr."
which was published in The Longhunter, Vol. XI, No 2 in 1988. This correction also appears in
"The Descendents of Col. William Claiborne - the 1st Eight Generations." Compiled by John Frederick
Dorman Certified Genealogist, FASG, in collaboration with Claiborne T. Smith, Jr.,M.D. published in 1995.
This corrected genealogy has been recognized by the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution,
the National Society Sons of the American Revolution, the Jamestown Society and the Huguenot Society.
MANY thanks to Jack Thacker for bringing this information to our attention and to DFA Genealogist Joseph Hays
for providing the information below.
