Notes:

  • There have been several James Lindsey Durhams within our family tree.  Current available data points to James born 1758 in Brunswick County, VA, and later dying in Illinois, as the son of George G. Durham. However, more concrete data is needed.

  • It is believed that James Lindsey Durham moved to Surry County, NC in 1777 along with his uncle James LINDSEY and aunt Mary (CARLTON) LINDSEY 2.  James L. Durham moved to Tennessee in Feb 1812.

  • There may also be a child to James L. Durham named Jane Durham who married James MILLICAN. 3

  • Additional James Lindsey information comes from genforum postings by "Captain Durham" (still working to determine who Captain was!)
