Notes:

Dr. James Durham's biography is here. Notable facts are that he studied medicine under this father-in-law, Bennett SCARBOROUGH. He also operated the in Benton, FranIL. He had 8 children. He was hospital steward during the Civil War for Company C, Fifteenth Illinois Calvary. James' wife's name is spelled "Francis" on her death certificate, as is her mother's name, "Francis Bennett".  So, it is either actually spelled that way, or the person filling out the death certificate spelled it incorrectly both times.  There is an Illinois "James Durham" who married Margaret Ellen LIVELY. They had a son, Frank, born in 1875. Is it the same person?? From 1880 US Census for Benton, Franklin County, IL:   Name Rel. Mar. Stat Gender Race Est. DOB Age Birth Place Occ.
