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. From George G. Durham's will: Will of George Durham (Brnsw. Will book 3-470/471) dated 13 Aug 1766 - I George Durham of Brunswick Co. and parish of St. Andrews being of perfect senses and memory do make and ordain my last will and testament ... I desire that my tract of land lying on branches of Great Creek containing 102a and joining Cap. Nicholas Edmunds and others be sold and my debts paid with the money. Item: I give to my son Humphrey Durham the land and plantation where I now live. Item: I give to my son James Lindsey Durham the land and plantation whereon I now live. Item: I give to my son Humphrey Durham a mare, saddle, cow, and calf. Item: I give to my son John Durham my gun and cow and calf. Item: I give to my daughter Margaret Halcombe one heifer. Item: It is my desire my goods and chattels after my wife's death be divided among my 5 youngest daughters. Item: I desire that the money that remains after debts are paid to be made use of the schooling of my 4 youngest children. Item: I desire my estate not be appraised. Item: I leave my beloved wife Winifred Durham and my son to be my executors. Witnesses were James Lindsey, John Holcombe, Thomas (x) Holcombe. Presented in court by Winifred Durham and Humphrey Durham and proved by oath of James Lindsey and Thomas Holcombe 23 Feb 1767.   County/State Abbreviations: BrunVA - Brunswick County, VA GibsTN - Gibson County, TN GraiTN - Grainger County, TN KnoxTN - Knox County, TN LoudTN - Louden County, TN LuneVA - Lunenburg County, VA NewKVA - New Kent County, VA OregMO - Oregon County, MO RoanTN - Roane County, TN SaliIL - Saline County, IL SurrNC - Surry County, NC SussVA - Sussex County, VA   Page Sources: Some James Lindsey information comes from genforum postings by "Captain Durham" (still working to determine who this man is or was.)
