There is a grave in the Chattanooga National Cemetery for Pvt. Houston P. Durham, Co C, 6th Tennessee, mounted infantry, Civil War. The death date of 1865 at age 18 would make it likely that our Houston was killed in the Civil War. More verification needed.

Notes:

There appears to be two Franklin P. Durham's in TN, born the same year. One, shows up in this family on the 1860 Bledsoe, TN census. The second, Franklin P. Durham also shows up in 1860 in DeKalb County, the son of Lewis R. and Parilee Durham. After the census, we see Franklin Durham married to Tennessee Malone, then we see him buried in Hearn Hill Cemetery, Wilson County, TN. The Find-A-Grave entry, showing both Frank and Tennessee, says: "Parents Joseph Durham and Mary Ayers". So were there three Franklin P. Durhams?

Notes:

Per an entry online regarding the Durham-Sanders Cemetery:

James and Juliann (Durham) Sanders, who are buried here were grandparents to my grandmother, Nadine. James and Elizabeth Durham were the parents of Juliann (Durham) Sanders. The land surrounding the cemetery was originally the farm of James Durham, who left it to his daughter, Juliann at his death. (This is a) sunken grave next to James, probably that of Juliann Durham Sanders, wife of James Sanders, born 8/12/820, died 8/20/1894 according to Alva Sanders who visited the graves before.
