unknown wife of James Nuckolls

She could not have been the mother of all the children from both Nuckolls husbands due to her age and their age span.

An individual named Elizabeth Duke is said to have married James Nuckolls of Saint Peter's Parish, New Kent County, VA, and had children born 1720 and later. Nothing has been proved about this Elizabeth's origins although she has been attached to various parents on a speculative basis. The birth place of this Elizabeth Duke is sometimes given as St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, VA, in 1695, but there is no Elizabeth Duke in the register of that parish in that or any other year, and thus this is not correct.

It is possible that this supposed marriage is a misreading of a secondary source on the Nuckolls family, "The Nuckolls Report."[4] That document states that: "V (1) James Nuckolls II, b. 1695, d. 1751. (2) Isabel Nuckolls, b. 1697. (3) Samuel Nuckolls, b. 1702, d. 1756. (4) William Nuckolls, b. c. 1710, d. 1796, m. Elizabeth Duke. See Chapter II.

When one reads on to Chapter II, it is clear that this document stated it was William Nuckolls, not his brother James, who married Elizabeth Duke, who actually was a daughter of Hardin Burnley Duke and Elizabeth Swift. There is "no record as to" the wife of James Nuckolls who was baptized 30 Jun 1695. In short, this Elizabeth Duke was most likely the product of a misreading of a secondary source.
