Notes:

  • Isaac Durham served as marriage bondsman. See Orange County NC - MARRIAGES - Marriage Bonds D - J, Indexed by Groom here.

  • Which Durham was Keziah's father? This Isaac B. Durham is supposedly a son of William Lindsey Durham and Nancy Ann Cates. However, this Isaac did not marry Barbara Brantley as my site indicates. I always have wondered if there were two Isaacs. This one married Elizabeth BALDWIN “Betsy”.
