Notes:

A remarkable story, regarding Thomas B. Durham, his father James, and the Civil War, is told in the book From Kitty Hawk To The Moon by W. O. Durham. In chapter 3, entitled "James Durham's Odyssey", the author tells of James Durham receiving word that his son, Thomas, is dying "the flux" in a Confederate infirmary on the outskirts of Atlanta, GA.  James decided to go to his dying son, and try to bring him home. After a long journey to Atlanta, James finds Thomas, who was very close to death. He loaded him into his  wagon and started for home. During the long trek home, Thomas' condition worsened, then abruptly improved, much of the credit going to his consumption of wild blackberries. They finally made it home to the delight of the remaining family.       Thomas B. and Mary Jane Durham are buried at Brown Cemetery, Sardis (Winn Co), WinnLA. View Tom's Find-A-Grave 39631779 Entry. From 1900 US Census for Ward 6, Winn Parish, LA: Dwelling 16, Family 16 It is indicated that Martha had 13 children, 11 living at census time. Name Rel. Race Sex Birth Date Age Mar. Stat Yrs Mar.
