Pg.64: CHARLES SPENCER DUNCOMBE, M.D., Racine. Charles S. Duncombe, a native of Middleburgh, Schoharie county, New York, was born on the 18th of November, 1821, and is the son of Elijah E. Duncombe and Catharine Bouch Duncombe. His ancestors have been somewhat noted for their longevity. His great-grandfather, a revolutionary soldier, was killed at the battle of Bunker Hill. His grandfather removed to Canada in 1819, whither his father went three years later. He was a prominent man in his community, highly respected by all, and for more than forty years a practicing physician in Saint Thomas. Two of his uncles, Charles and David Duncombe, also physicians, served in the provincial house of parliament during a period of twelve years. Charles, therefore, being raised under such influences, naturally inclined to the medical profession.
During his boyhood he attended the common schools of his adopted home in Canada, whither his parents had moved when he was one year old, and besides had the advantages offered by a seminary in London. At the age of seventeen he engaged in teaching, and two years later began the study of medicine, under the supervision of his father, and soon afterward pursued a course of study in the Medical College, at Geneva, New York, attending two courses of lectures, and graduating on the 23d of January, 1844. In the ensuing spring, ... settled in Walworth county, Wisconsin ... four years ... then returned to Saint Thomas, Ontario, ... twelve years. To Wisconsin in the spring of 1860, settled at Racine, his present home ... His political sentiments are republican, ... religious communion Dr. Duncombe is identified with the Episcopal church. He was married on the 24th of January, 1844, the day after his first graduation, to Miss Susan A.C. Baker, and by her has one son and two daughters. (MAD: "Baker" as given)
