William Taylor MUNCRIEF (b. Dec 27, 1848, MS; d. Mar 1, 1923, MS; Find-A-Grave 20367542) in 1867, MS William Henderson Durham (b. Sep 1854, MS) . Lula RAINEY (b. Jan 19, 1872, Sturgis, OktiMS; d. Jan 6, 1951, San Antonio, BexaTX; Find-A-Grave 92300408) Notes: See Orange County NC - MARRIAGES - Marriage Bonds D - J, Indexed by Groom here. Barbara's father was Mastin CHEEK. David Durham was the Executor of Mastin's Will. Was William H. Durham in fact David's son?  I think it likely and the clues come from the 1900 and 1910 census records where it is listed that Williams father was born in NC, and his mother in MS.  Both David and Barbara were born in NC. It is possible, therefore that William H was in fact William H. Durham Jr., David's grandson. If so, why did he not live with William and Mary J. Durham?  Lula (Rainey) Durham's parents were William R. RAINEY and Lou ELLIOTT.
