Notes:

There is some debate on whether or not Lindsey Durham had a first name. Research has shown both "Thomas" as a first name and "William" as a first name. His gravemarker says simply "Lindsey", so that is what I will go with. In 1846, William L. emigrated with his father-in-law, John Holmes, to Carroll County, MS. He had owned a small farm near Durhamville, TN, and sold it to his brother-in-law, Robert Shelton, before moving to MS. He spent the remainder of his days near Winona, MontCtyMS. William L. Durham and Mary A. Phillips had a son, Lindsey Fonier Durham (b. Feb 16, 1893, d. Oct 19, 1919; m. Mattie Bertha COLLINS). Another son was Edgar Sinclair Durham (b. Oct 9, 1882, MS; d. May 8, 1947, CrosCtyAR; m. Carrie Aileen JONES, both are buried at Akins Cemetery, CrosCtyAR).   From 1850 Census for CarrCtyMS:   Name Age Est.
