Notes: |
-
There have been several James Lindsey Durham's within our family tree.
Current available data points to James born 1758 in Brunswick, VA, and
later dying in Illinois, as the son of George G. Durham. However, more
concrete data is needed.
-
It is believed that James Lindsey Durham moved to Surry County, NC in
1777 along with his uncle James LINDSEY and aunt Mary (CARLTON) LINDSEY
(as noted on the Descendants of Blake Carlton webpage web.) -
Daniel Durham had a mentally illness of some kind. -
Additional James Lindsey information comes from
genforum postings by "Captain
Durham" (still working to determine who Captain was!)

Notes: |
-
Proof that George G. Durham was a son of Tom Durham and Peggy
Lindsey is not concrete. DNA results do concretely prove a relationship.
They could have been father/son, brothers, or grandfather/grandson.
Using the known dates, it has been decided that father/son makes the most sense.
As new information is uncovered, this may be adjusted.
-
A lot of
Information on George G. Durham comes from a web posting by "Captain
Durham", who follows George down through James Lindsey Durham of Surry Co,
NC. Someday I hope to learn the identity of this knowledgeable Durham researcher. He
was a wealth of knowledge. 1
He also concluded that Thomas was George's father.
-
