Notes:

A descendant of Joab Durham is Kit 26995 on the Durham DNA Project. This kit matches several relatives who are known to be related to Mathew Durham, b. 1730 in VA, died 1795 in Orange Co. NC. So it stands that Thomas Lindsey Durham was somehow (either father, or a brother) related to Mathew Durham. The following is from the book Kitty Hawk To the Moon by W. O. Durham: Just before James Allen Durham passed away in Winn Parish, Louisiana, in 1899, he called two of his grandsons to his room and told them to write down the following story about the patriotic exploits of Joab Lindsey Durham, his paternal grandfather, during the Revolutionary War. The grandsons reporting this account were William and Jesse Durham, two sons of Thomas Bozeman Durham, the son of James Allen Durham. "My grandfather, Joab Durham, was a leader of a band of patriots in North Carolina during the Revolutionary War. He had a brother-in-law named Mack Arrington, who was a leader of a band of Tories. The Patriots got news that the Tories were going to destroy or damage a watermill nearby.  Joab and his rangers secured themselves inside the mill. And, when the Tories reached there, one of the patriots said to Joab, the leader, "Joab, Mack Arrington is leading the Tories and I'm going to kill him.” Joab said, “Go ahead and kill him.” And then, he turned his head so as not to witness the killing. The bullet plowed through the lower chin of Arrington and broke his neck. All the rest of that band of Tories was either killed or taken prisoner. Joab and his men later joined Marion and his band in several battles, one of which was the Battle of Kings Mountain, on 7 Oct 1780; also, the Battle of Gillford's [sic] Courthouse in North Carolina in March of 1781. He also had part in the Battle of Hobkirk's Hill, North Carolina [sic], and the one at Fort Ninety-six." Page Sources: 1. Nichols Family of Newberry District, SC webpage web 2.
