Notes:

  • Elizabeth and Edmund lived in the Kingston, TN area and are buried at the Foshee Cemetery near Kingston.

  • George and Edmund Johnson's parents were James JOHNSON and Catherine DURHAM. Catherine was the daughter of Thomas Durham Jr., who married Mary Smoot.  This is an instance where our Durham clan intermarried with an entirely different Durham family.

  • Some conflicting info at Grady line at Intermarriage of Outlaw and Grady Clans, The website web. This says Elizabeth married Frederick Grady "Uncle Fred".
 

8. Clarissa DURHAM (b. 1763, BrunCtyVA)

Notes:

 

Notes:

  • Proof that George G. Durham was a son of Tom Durham and Peggy Lindsey is not concrete. DNA results do concretely prove a relationship.  They could have been father/son, brothers, or grandfather/grandson. Using the known dates, it has been decided that father/son makes the most sense.  As new information is uncovered, this may be adjusted. 

  • A lot of Information on George G. Durham comes from a web posting by "Captain Durham", who follows George down through James Lindsey Durham of Surry Co, NC. Someday I hope to learn the identity of this knowledgeable Durham researcher. He was a wealth of knowledge. 1  He also concluded that Thomas was George's father.

  • From George G. Durham's will:

    Will of George Durham (Brnsw. Will book 3-470/471) dated 13 Aug 1766 - I George Durham of Brunswick Co. and parish of St. Andrews being of perfect senses and memory do make and ordain my last will and testament ...
