John Duff (counterfeiter) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Duff (counterfeiter) John Duff (c. 1759 – June 4, 1799 or 1805) was a counterfeiter, hunter, scout, and soldier who assisted in George Rogers Clark's campaign to capture the Illinois country, for the American rebel side, during the Revolutionary War. == Family history and early life== John Duff was born John McElduff sometime, between September 1759 and August 1760 in South Carolina, according to his court testimony in August 1781, when he was 21 years old. His father died and his mother remarried. John's father may have been the Thomas McElduff murdered by Philip McElduff, some time prior to November 1761. His stepfather moved the family to the Natchez, Mississippi region of the colony of British West Florida, on the Mississippi River, prior to the start of the American Revolutionary War. Duff is believed to be a grandson of a Thomas McElduff, Sr., who received two land grants, for military service in the French and Indian War, on the south side of the Tyger River, in Union County, South Carolina on February 7, 1754.
