  • Willis and Happy lost many children as infants. They are all buried at Brown's Chapel United Methodist Church Cemetery, ChatNC.
    NOTE: There are other infants listed as children of Willis and Happy, however the birth dates conflict with living children, so it's either incorrect or there were step-children involved. More research needed.

  • Grover Durham was a Farmer-Carpenter.

  • From 1900 US Census for Rock Rest Twp, Chatham County, NC:
    Dwelling 79, Family 79

    Happy has 10 children, 6 are living at census time.
