Archibald Durham Family (copied from a family bible)

From an entry in Durham Genforum posted by Gerald Collins:

I have before me handwritten papers that may have been copied from an old Bible since the handwriting is rather uniform. The script is as I read it and there may be minor errors made in reading but will do my best. All entries are for the Archibald Durham Family of Orange County, North Carolina. Archibald was born about 1782 in Orange County and was the son of William Lindsey Durham and wife Anne Cate. Archibald first married Margaret (Peggy) Stroud, daughter of John Stroud and Delilah Bryant on 31 March 1803 in Orange County, NC. Margaret was born 16 April 1787 in Orange County, and died 12 July 1813. Archibald then took as his second wife Jane Carruthers (also spelled Careathers) on 1 February 1816 in Orange County. Jane was born 1 June 1804 and died 15 January 1867. I have the children and their descendants but will not list them here. Now for the Archibald Family
